<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The four-part drama, which stars Phoebe Tonkin (pictured), Joel Jackson, Ewen Leslie and Hazem Shammas, will film its final pick-up shots after recent rain threw its six-week shoot off schedule.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There’s an ease to working here,” he said. “People are very open. There was a home in Ashgrove we wanted to film in that was owned by a family of five and a dog and they said ‘that sounds great’ and we put them up in a hotel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I filmed a big series in Sydney last year and things went wrong all the time and not through lack of planning – squabbling with councils, you name it, it was happening.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our politicians have failed to keep up with our desire for change on several key issues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">People know when the law has become an ass. The collective wisdom and wit of the crowd winnows well. It is the citizenry rather than the polity that tends to lead cultural and legislative change.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And that is a bloody good thing; to borrow from formerly eminent legislator Tony Abbott - and, well, without wanting to labour the posterior point - politicians are not suppositories of wisdom. Why the hell would we think that 227 people, of whom fewer than a third a women, congregating in Canberra for a total of a few months each year would have a better idea about what is right and good than the millions who employ them to promote the national interest, secure the vulnerable and protect, rather than encroach on, our liberties and rights?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among things that are mainstream today, but were previously outlawed or otherwise precluded, are prosecution for rape in marriage, Indigenous voting rights, homosexual sex, paying for sex, backyard water tanks, al fresco eating, serving alcohol after 6pm and immigration from non-white nations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Support for a number of other sensible and just changes has grown to the point of compelling; it is time for our legislators to respect and trust the community's views.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">1. Marriage equality. History tells us separating religion and politics is a sterling idea. The inappropriate influence of the church on the Australian state is evident in the Catholic Church's strident opposition to the Coalition government's thoroughly decent desire to redirect some of the public money that goes to independent schools to the actual public sector, on the basis of need. But nowhere is the undue civic power of religion more blatantly and wrongly operating than in the sphere of marriage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is pretty much the only English-speaking nation that denies the right of people in love to get married. Such archaic and unjust law is an embarrassment to our nation, and an insult to millions of people. The leaders of both major political groupings support change, but are hostage to a recalcitrant and unfair few for base political reasons associated with the aforementioned former parliamentary eminence, whose views have long been out of kilter with our cosmopolitan nation. This change is inevitable, because it is right and popular. Most people want politicians to get on with the job they were elected to do, rather than maintaining Abbott's policy, part of a desperate and unsuccessful bid to head off being dumped by his own colleagues, of holding a hugely expensive plebiscite that will needlessly cause much hurt to millions of Australians who have already long suffered appalling discrimination.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">2. Mandatory offshore detention of <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees. Australia's cruel and illegal bipartisan policy has caused immense harm, physical and psychological, to some of the world's most desperate and vulnerable children, women and men, and has wasted billions of taxpayers' dollars.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Arriving here by <b>boat</b> is not illegal. The legal failing is by our government; under a <span class="companylink">UN</span> charter, to which we have been signatories for decades, we have a responsibility to accept and process people who arrive by <b>boat</b>, as many as nine in 10 of whom are found to be genuine refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An indication of community support for the decent treatment of these people came last Tuesday, World <b>Refugee</b> Day, when the <b>Asylum</b> Seeker Resource Centre's annual telethon raised more than double its target of $300,000. The ASRC gets not one cent from government, but has managed to help about 12,000 people in various ways over recent years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">3. Assisted dying. Victoria's legislators in coming months will debate a bill to allow terminally ill people, under strictly regulated circumstances, to choose the manner and timing of their death. Polls have long shown that up to four in five people support this compassionate change, which has worked well elsewhere in the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no indignity in holding on to life for as long as possible. What is undignified is preventing people who are suffering excruciatingly and are irretrievably close to death from having that choice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">4. Trialling a safe injecting room in Richmond, the epicentre of Melbourne's heroin problem. Dozens of people have died in the streets and lanes of Richmond because of a lack of courage and insight by legislators. There is evidence that safe injecting spaces save lives. It's that simple. The residents want a trial. The health experts recommend a trial. This is about harm minimisation, not condoning or encouraging dangerous use of substances. The longer politicians ignore the evidence and refuse a trial, the more people will die needlessly. That is a disgrace.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia will eventually move towards decriminalisation of illicit drugs, because experience around the world shows prohibition has failed and that harm minimisation comes with treating people with drug problems in the medical system, rather than the criminal justice system.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are many things we and our political representatives should fight to conserve - including equality under the law, property rights, human rights and regulated markets. But when evidence and considered public opinion tell us that what is the case is not what ought to be the case, we should not be conservative, we should seek progress. It's how we protect and advance civilisation.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The turnback of the Tampa inspired the author's new work of fiction, writes LINDA MORRIS. </p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Felicity Castagna lives with her husband Michael and two children, aged four and three months, in an apartment not far from the Parramatta River in the second oldest city in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Across the landing are a Canadian couple working in IT. A group of eight Iranian refugees live upstairs and downstairs there is a young family newly arrived from Sri Lanka. "I can see the father is anxious to make his mark and get a better job," Castagna says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There is another man a couple of floors above who works at the local petrol station but he actually owns three investment apartments in this area. This apartment building is so Parramatta. Me and my husband are the arty farty oddballs. This is the centre of Sydney but it is also the centre of the new face of Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Castagna's new work of fiction is firmly anchored in this multicultural melting pot, the beating heart of Sydney's western suburbs, and in that paradoxical relationship Australia has with its migrant origins; offering sanctuary to the <b>refugee</b> since British settlement, priding itself on an ethos of the fair go and yet gripped by fear of the foreign invader, be it La Perouse, the so-called "Chinese hordes" of the 1920s, the Japanese or expansionist Indonesia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No More Boats taps that raw political nerve in 2001 when the Norwegian container ship, Tampa, carrying 438 refugees plucked from their sinking <b>boat</b>, was refused entry into an Australian port.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The turnback was to mark a sea change in national politics, defining the Howard election campaign, shaping the Pacific Solution and mandatory detention, and giving voice to a simmering unease with the decay in Australia's Eurocentric way of life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Retired builder Antonio Martone watches the events unfold from the lounge room of the home he built room-by-room on a one-acre plot of land where he and his wife, the daughter of British emigres, have raised a daughter and son.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After fleeing the ruins of Europe, Martone heeds the call to assimilate, choosing not to pass on to his children the language of his birth, dropping all cultural baggage, and using his muscle to build houses for the next generation of New Australians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then comes a building accident that kills his friend and a crippled Martone hears John Howard's election stump speech - "we will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come" - and takes a personal stand. The migrant-made-good wants to shut the door behind him. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"All those different generations of migrants think they struggled harder than people coming here today on boats. I hear that all the time, they came here, they got a job, they didn't speak their language, they didn't pass it on. They tried to forget who they were."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Collective anxiety and amnesia of the foreign "invader" is not a mindset of Martone's generation alone but goes back 200 years to the arrival of the First Fleet, says Castagna.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I originally set this book in Cabramatta and it was only because I thought Cabramatta had such distinctive waves of migration from the English to the Vietnamese to the Eastern European.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But when I thought about it more and more, Parramatta is actually the best place in Australia to set this book because it is a place in which the history of our relationship with boats is written on the landscape.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Like right there." Castagna points to the mouth of the Parramatta River.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"That was where the boats could go no further during colonial times when they were seeking a route inland to NSW. On top of that you had Pemulwuy, his Indigenous warriors came on boats down this stream and fought back those colonial settlers. It's a place that after World War II so many people came on boats and settled in this area to work."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Martone's family experience mirrors Castagna's family story of dispossession and dislocation. While her wild mane of auburn hair hints at her mother's Scottish heritage, Castagna's paternal grandparents are of Greek ancestry.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They fled Egypt for Ethiopia, married into the local Italian community, were interred by the British after World War II, moved back to Egypt and got on the "next <b>boat</b> that came", landing in the semi-rural outskirts of Newcastle where they were treated as foreigners but did their best to disguise their difference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Castagna calls her father's line "the everything people". Father Tony, an academic, roamed, too, to take up advisory positions in technology start-up companies in Silicon Valley and Castagna left when she was eight years old and didn't return to live in Australia for another nine years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My parents made me read all this Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson so I'd get some sense of what it was to be Australian growing up which didn't make sense to me at all."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australia Castagna came back to in 1999 "just seemed so strange," she recalls. "I was an Australian, I am an Australian, but I grew up in a very international family in another country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There was this strange red-headed woman wrapped up in these Australian flags talking about sending migrants back and shortly later Tampa happened."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The contradictory attitudes of post-war migrants to the new "<b>boat</b> arrivals" confused her. "My family never came here classified as refugees but they experienced a lot of the same things.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My dad's family were basically the only ethnics living on the rural outskirts of Newcastle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They were adamant they were new Australians and they tried so excruciatingly, painfully hard to fit in. I don't think my dad would even identify as a migrant even though English is his fifth language."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By contrast, her own history growing up outside Australia served only to heighten Castagna's sense of place and attachment to the suburban landscape of western Sydney where she eventually laid roots. She's lived in Parramatta for 16 years, the longest she has ever stopped in the one place.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Castagna's collection of short stories, Small Indiscretions, published in 2011, was based on her travels in Asia and describes the expatriate experience of "being foreign in foreign places you can never understand".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her debut novel, The Incredible Here and Now, the story of a teen boy in the summer he turns 15, won a Prime Minister's Literary Award in 2014 and was praised for its vivid portrait of male adolescence, family and Sydney's western suburbs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was teaching English at Parramatta Marist and Merrylands High that taught Castagna something of the interior life of boys and the art of creating character from the inside out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Castagna has adapted the novel to the stage and it will premiere at The National Theatre of Parramatta in July.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I find it easier to write men's stories," she says. "Writing women's stories requires more introspection, I guess. I'm working on a book now that has no men in it whatsoever. It's the feminist response to The Incredible Here and Now."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Castagna is running a collective of western Sydney women writers, Finishin School: For Badass Ladies Writing Brilliant Books. The urge to write had come "because I had, and continue to have, great teachers who always encouraged me to do so".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The idea that these women should have "long-term mentorship to produce significant books and to counter the male-dominated literary landscape of western Sydney to tell female stories of this place seemed the most important thing to do".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No More Boats was informed by research Castagna undertook while doing a doctorate at the Writing and Society Research Centre at <span class="companylink">Western Sydney University</span>, a cradle for emerging writer-activists such as Luke Carmen and Michael Mohamed Ahmed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Western Sydney is recalibrating Australian literature," Castagna says. "Everybody talks about how we have so many wonderful multicultural voices coming out of this community. It's more than that. It's a whole different aesthetic coming out of this community, it's changing the way we write and read and review text." </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her favourite piece of writing advice is by Shaun Tan. "He said the job of the writer is to find the most beautifully formed question, and I've always remembered that.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I've always thought of my fiction as about trying to find questions to ask audiences to consider rather than provide them with the answers. I think if we all remembered where we came from and remembered to listen, that's what would make us more humane."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No More Boats is published by Giramondo at $26.95.  </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ANOTHER THING</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two of Castagna's books centre around car crashes. She has totalled three cars.</p>

After suffering severe PTSD, she has found new purpose through sport … it wasn’t so much that I lost my leg, it was my worst fear of nearly losing a child that was the biggest issue for me</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My femoral artery was severed and as soon as the car backed off my leg the blood poured out of me. It was a ­tsunami of blood. I still felt no pain; the only thing in my head was my son. Where was he? Was he OK? Was he dead?</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ali France has written the memories down. It’s been six years since the accident that wrenched away her life as she knew it. Six years since an innocuous trip to do midweek errands at the local shops with her then four-year-old son turned into the most nightmarish of scenes. She has ­recorded her memories for the first time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France has never spoken in detail about the accident in May 2011 that led to her coming within a whisker of death when a car slammed into her in a shopping centre carpark and how her worst fear – of losing a child – came chillingly close. For most of the past six years, France, who had her left leg amputated above the knee in an emergency, lifesaving operation, has been consumed by debilitating post-traumatic stress disorder, a crippling “fear of everything”, multiple surgeries, as well as relentless, intense pain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But France, a former journalist and television producer, is finally getting her life back on track. She has recently ­returned to the paid workforce, has found an unexpected future in elite sport, and is finding her voice again through the written word.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From her home in Ashgrove, in Brisbane’s inner northwest, France, 44, says she still finds the memories difficult.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Only my family have known about the details of the ­accident,” she says. “It just takes my breath away … nobody realises that it wasn’t so much that I lost my leg, it was my worst fear of nearly losing a child that was the biggest issue for me. What a lot of people don’t know is, while I tried to push Zac out of the way, I didn’t succeed and he ended up under the car. He was very, very lucky.” The accident happened as France walked, with Zac in his stroller, towards a lift in the undercover carpark of the small Highpoint Shopping Plaza on Waterworks Road, a major Ashgrove thoroughfare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France heard the “ear-splitting roar” of a revving car and turned to see a vehicle headed straight for them. In the split second before impact, she tried to push Zac and his stroller out of the way. France took the full impact of the car and was pinned between the still-revving car and ­another empty, parked vehicle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The horror of the situation was immediate. With smoke coming off the car tyres, which were still turning, and from under the bonnet, France was eyeballing the driver, an 88-year-old man who was staring at her in shock, his mouth agape. His hands were firmly on the steering wheel and his foot was pressed down on the accelerator.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But worse, France could no longer see Zac. She feared he was under the car and, panic-stricken, she started screaming at the driver to get the car off her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“At the time I was completely awake, this car was pinned on me and the driver, who was elderly, was frozen,” France says. “The driver just stared at me. There was smoke everywhere, the engine was revving and I was just screaming, ‘Get the car off me, get the car off me!’ I was screaming for Zac. I wanted the car off me because of Zac, not because I was hurt.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My leg didn’t even really feature in those moments, and even when I was in hospital. I subsequently suffered really terrible post-traumatic stress disorder … but it wasn’t to do with me losing my leg, it was to do with nearly losing my child.” Zac, now 10, suffered a deep burn to his leg from the car tyres but, incredibly, was otherwise unharmed. France later found out that he was dragged to safety from under the car by a 17-year-old mother with a baby strapped to her front, who had stepped out of the lift as the drama was unfolding.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The woman, believing she was witnessing someone ­deliberately trying to kill France, put her own baby on the ground, reached under the car, pulled Zac and the stroller out and took him upstairs to a cafe to remove him from harm’s way.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France was then saved by two young men who reached over the elderly driver to put the car in neutral and then physically pushed the vehicle off her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the real battle for France’s life had only begun. With her femoral artery severed, she began bleeding out. Her life was in the balance. “It was unbelievable how much blood there was,” France says. “I went to take a step and there was nothing underneath me and I fell to the ground. At that point, I didn’t feel any pain. I didn’t realise what had ­happened to me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“One of those young men took his shirt off and tourniqueted my leg and saved my life. When your femoral artery is severed, you lose consciousness within 30 seconds and you can die within four minutes – before an ambulance has any time to get to you.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Those two young men saved me. It was complete luck they were there. I lost consciousness very quickly. My last words I remember were, ‘Zac, Zac …’ ”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I was as close to death as a person can be that day. They took off my leg without anaesthetic or pain relief. There was no time … it was take it off now or die.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France has undergone six surgeries to her leg over five years. Most dramatically, under life-threatening circumstances, doctors – who had initially tried to save the crushed limb – were forced to perform an emergency ­amputation without ­anaesthetic. France, who was unconscious, doesn’t ­recall any pain. Afterwards, doctors told her she was at death’s door.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When she woke in intensive care days later, France’s first thoughts were of Zac. With an intubator down her throat, she spelt out the letters “Z-A-C” on her husband Clive’s hand. He reassured her their son was fine.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Far from grieving the loss of her leg, France says she was buoyant. Her worst fears had not been realised. Zac was alive and she felt like she had “won the lottery”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My leg didn’t even feature. It didn’t matter to me,” France says. “I never cried in hospital. The whole amputation thing wasn’t a big deal because I didn’t lose Zac. I had an overarching relief that he’d come away unscathed. I just felt so grateful. I joked I would go to a leg shop and buy a new one. I had no idea what was ahead of me.” France’s amputation, without time for proper planning, was not straightforward. The next seven months, she says, passed “in a blur’’ with daily dressings required and “serious amounts of medication”. Her mum, Lin Cullinan, now 67, gave up work as a tennis coach on the Gold Coast and during the week she lived with France and her husband Clive, 48, an app developer, to look after Zac and older brother Henry, now 12. France’s father, former Labor state racing minister Peter Lawlor, 69, drove her to appointments and still spends three days a week helping out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After initially entertaining visitors in her home and even holding a work meeting on her back deck, France says her world came crashing down as the symptoms of PTSD set in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I would see the frozen face of the man who had hit me everywhere – in my dreams, in my house, outside my house. Fear completely engulfed me. Fear became a ­bigger disability for me than losing my leg.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France didn’t recognise herself. During her career she had worked as a journalist in Brisbane and Hong Kong, had been a senior press officer for the UK’s then <span class="companylink">Healthcare Commission</span> and a television producer for Brisbane-based Carbon Media. In 2010, she had success writing and ­producing a one-hour documentary, ProppaNOW, for ABC TV, about an ­indigenous artists’ group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France had enjoyed her work and had considered herself a confident, fearless person; but then all aspects of her life changed. About two months after the accident, panic attacks and visions of the elderly driver took hold.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fears engulfed her – fear of never walking again, of ­leaving her house, driving a car, the way she looked, ­writing, being asked about the accident, hospital, being alone with her children, not being able to look after her children, and of all social situations. She suffered chronic chest pains and difficulty breathing. For years, she was haunted by visions of the driver’s face.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France didn’t drive for three years. She also stopped writing because she simply stopped knowing what to say. “I feared absolutely everything,” she says. “When I went out I would stumble, I became shaky, I would forget how to speak. I even feared myself – the person I no longer knew at all. I felt completely lost. It wasn’t just about losing my leg, it was losing who I was.” One of her greatest fears was pain. From the beginning, France experienced severe “phantom pain” – pain she still experiences in the leg she no longer has.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The pain was just out of this world and I feared pain more than I feared death,” France says. “Sitting here now I can feel my left leg, even though it is quite obviously not here. The most common phantom pain I experience is like a lightning strike – what I would imagine it would feel like to be electrocuted, except the electrocution could last five minutes or up to 10 hours.” Walking on a prosthetic proved impossible for France, despite her best efforts. Due to suffering a painful condition called chronic trauma lymphedema, her stump swells, shrinks and retains fluid. A traditional prosthetic socket would simply fall off without warning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Devastated, France grappled with the idea of never walking again until her father came across an article on a surgical procedure called osseointegration being performed by Sydney-based surgeon Dr Munjed Al Muderis. The cutting-edge technique – in which a titanium rod that connects to a prosthetic is permanently implanted into a patient’s bone – was still in its infancy. In November 2012, France was the 26th patient in Australia to undergo the procedure, with two more surgeries to follow in January 2013 and May 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Al Muderis, 45, who pioneered the technique, has now done about 430 of the operations worldwide and regularly teaches visiting overseas surgeons. “This surgery was Ali’s last alternative,” Al Muderis says. “The only other option she had was an archaic traditional socket that she couldn’t mobilise because of pain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“She was in a wheelchair … she is a mother of two lovely kids, she has a family and needed to move on with her life. She had a great life and a great career and it was all put on hold because of her traumatic accident … it had a major ­impact on her life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In Ali’s case we put the titanium rod into her femur. This part is permanent but the external component is removable so Ali can remove the prosthetic from above her knee.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I have a great deal of admiration for Ali. The way I look at it is … a disability is a disability of the mind rather than the body. Ali is strong enough to take back her life, move on and excel.” While the surgery has been a success and has allowed France to walk again, she has undergone further ­surgery to her leg for infection and lymphedema treatment. Last year, she was unable to walk, on and off, for six months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Suddenly I had become a world champion. My world opened up. I also got to show my kids that no matter what happens to you in life, you pick yourself up and you keep going.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sport is perhaps the last place France ever dreamt she would find solace. As someone who hadn’t competed in any sport since age 16, France especially disliked any kind of water-based activity. So to be part of a gold medal-­winning, world champion outrigger canoeing team is, she says, ­astonishing. France was introduced to the Sunshine Coast’s ­Mooloolaba Outrigger Canoe Club and a No Limits ­Adaptive Paddling program by bilateral amputee Shona Muckert, who had also undergone osseointegration ­surgery with Al Muderis. France tentatively gave it a go and to her surprise found a sense of release and something psychologically calming about being on the water. It was her “break from the world” and a way of distracting herself from the constant pain she endured.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I would never have pegged myself on water of any kind doing any sport,” France says. “When I was in hospital, people would say, ‘you can be in the next Paralympics’. I would go, ‘Are you kidding? I hate sport. That’s not me’. But I’ve learnt you’re never too old to start taking risks. If you are not taking risks, you’re really not living. Sport has given me a lot of confidence and made me step out of my shell, out of my comfort zone and out of my bed. It was a real turning point for me.” In 2016, nearly five years after her accident, France was asked to join the No Limits Australian outrigging team to compete in the International Va’a Federation (IVF) World Sprint Championships, a move she says felt like “jumping off a cliff”. It was also the impetus she needed to clear her head and wean herself gradually off the “truckload of pain medication” she was taking.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After going to great lengths to get rid of her pain, including the treatment of having a stimulator ­attached to her spinal cord, France says she finally ­accepted that sometimes “there’s no cure”. For the past 18 months, she has been free of medication and has accepted ongoing pain as part of her life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I wanted to start achieving again and live my life again. I didn’t want to be a zombie for the rest of my life. I just had to confront the fear of pain,” she says. “Pain is still a huge issue and there are nights I don’t sleep at all. But I’ve ­accepted it as part of my life. I get so many more benefits being off the medication.’’ In May 2016, France competed in three team event sprint races at the world championships at Kawana, on the Sunshine Coast, and won two gold medals and a silver. She has also competed as a solo paddler at the Australian ­Outrigger Canoe Racing Association (AOCRA) National Outrigger Sprint titles and, in March, raced in Sydney in the Canoe Sprint National Championships, where she placed third. Her next and biggest challenge is an 18km team marathon at the IVF World Distance Championships in Tahiti next week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Munjed’s courage had a profound effect on me. He is a masterclass in the power of one voice and he inspired me to start using my voice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Munjed Al Muderis, an Iraqi-born <b>asylum</b> seeker who ­obtained his medical degree in Baghdad, arrived on Christmas Island in November 1999, illegally by <b>boat</b>, before he was officially accepted by Australia as a <b>refugee</b> in August 2000. Given all that Al Muderis has contributed and the difference his surgery has made to her life, France was ­incensed at a Federal Government proposal to amend the Migration Act. It was proposed <b>asylum</b> seekers who tried to come to Australia by <b>boat</b> should be banned from the ­country for life, including those on tourist or business visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In October 2016, she wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull titled “My surgeon, the <b>refugee</b> who came by <b>boat</b>” and posted it on her <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> account. Within hours, it had been shared all over the world. It has since been shared more than 1100 times.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I hadn’t written anything for five-and-a-half years,” France says. “I couldn’t bring myself to write about myself. Even at the end of last year I couldn’t verbalise my experience. But Munjed had done so much for me that I belted out a letter to the prime minister. I get really fired up about social justice issues and I was inspired to be like him and use my personal experience to contribute to the debate, not just to hide away at home.” France, while still “full of self-doubt”, believes she has now overcome her PTSD and returned to work in March in a part-time marketing and communications role with ­Brisbane-based charity Karuna, which provides in-home ­palliative care. Her parents remain a constant support, coaching the boys in cricket and tennis, babysitting and helping with grocery shopping and laundry. France says she is also “forever grateful” to Clive, her husband of 13 years, who picked up the pieces of the household and kept it going for many years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France has not returned to the scene of the accident, nor has she had any contact from the driver or his family. The driver, Ronald Leopold Petfield, a World War II veteran and retired Brisbane City Council tram and bus driver, was disqualified from driving after the accident. He died in 2014, aged 91.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France did, however, meet with the young mother, Megan Crookston, who dragged Zac to safety as well as the two men, Aric Simmonds and Joseph Osborne, who saved her life in the carpark.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After a “very difficult” process, France received an out-of-court compensation settlement about 18 months ago. The future may also bring a career in politics. Since May 2016, France has been a member of Labor Enabled, an ­association of the Labor Party for people with disabilities to influence and formulate policy. She is now an executive committee member.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">France grew up with politics. She spent her childhood handing out how-to-vote cards and doorknocking for her father. Her grandmother, Mary Lawlor, was also heavily ­involved in politics and a female activist of her time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I really enjoy politics,” France says. “Despite this, I never really considered becoming active in politics until after I lost my leg. But there is a dire need for more people with disabilities to get involved in politics … to be heard, we need to be at the decision-making table and that means getting people with disabilities elected to federal and state parliaments. I have enough in my life to keep me busy at the moment but if the opportunity arose, I would be ­honoured to be a part of that.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This journey has been rough but it’s also brought a richness to my life that I didn’t have before I lost my leg. I’m confronting fears all the time. There have been many ­failures but part of not giving up is accepting the failures, picking yourself up and moving on.” ■France will race in the IVF World Distance Championships in Tahiti from Tuesday till Friday</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the group took their petitions with 460 signatures to Ms Andrews’ McPherson electorate office at Varsity Lakes and staged a protest, the MP accepted the forms and told the group they would be handed to Mr Dutton.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Andrews, who is also Assistant Minister for Vocational Education and Skills, has written to group spokeswoman Ann Baillie, promising to come back with Mr Dutton’s response.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Mr Dutton late last week vowed no “illegal maritime arrivals” on Manus Island or Nauru would ever be brought to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Settlement is not an admission of liability in any regard,” Mr Dutton said. His comments followed Canberra’s capitulation in a class action taken by 1905 Manus Island detainees, with the Government agreeing to a reported $70 million settlement and up to $20 million in costs to compensate <b>asylum</b> seekers held in poor conditions between November 2012 and December 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said fighting the action would have cost the country a lot more. Gold Coast petitioners, some operating under the umbrella of the GetUp! lobby group, asked Ms Andrews to support a plan to evacuate detention camps on Manus Island and Nauru so no one would be left behind.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The petition also called for <b>asylum</b> seekers to be offered fair options for safe resettlement, for families to be reunited, for people excluded from a resettlement deal with the US to be brought to Australia, and for <b>asylum</b> seekers already in Australia, including those born here, to remain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Andrews said the Government was committed to ensuring any policy change did not offer encouragement to people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Coalition Government’s policies had successfully stopped the evil people smuggling trade that under Labor led to more than 50,000 people arriving by <b>boat</b>, over a thousand deaths at sea and detention centres overflowing,’’ she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Under the Coalition, 17 detention centres have been closed and there are no longer any children in detention. The Government is also boosting its humanitarian program with the number of refugees brought to Australia increasing to 18,750 by 2018-19.’’Petitioners, who gathered 337 signatures on paper, 123 signatures online and another 360 signatures in a separate petition to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, told the Bulletin MPs had to stop playing politics with people’s lives.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Let me give a dire warning to the ABCC inspectors, be careful what you do,” Mr Setka told more than 20,000 unionists protesting in Melbourne, adding he would consider revealing the home addresses of ABCC officials.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We will lobby their neighbourhoods, we will tell them who lives in that house ... they will not be able to show their faces anywhere ... their kids will be ashamed of who their parents are when we expose all these ABCC inspectors,” the union secretary boomed in his tirade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The CFMEU has been hit with more than $8 million in court fines for its conduct over the past decade or so, yet its estimated $90 million in assets has given it the arrogance to shrug those penalties off.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Employment Minister Michaelia Cash and the ABCC have now lodged complaints with Victoria Police and other authorities to investigate the threats to ascertain whether they amount to a criminal offence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Labor’s Anthony Albanese suggested Mr Setka was a “nutter”, labelled his comments “reprehensible” and said they should be the subject of a police investigation, Mr Shorten was far less forthright.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is now exposed on two fronts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not only did he send a personal message of support to the rally that it was “time to stand up and fight back”, his duplicitous opposition to penalty rate cuts, a key focus of the protest, contradicts his previous pledge to accept the Fair Work decision in a three-year review process that he was instrumental in framing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If Mr Shorten is to salvage any credibility, he must insist Labor cuts all ties with the CFMEU and that it refuse to take any further political donations — which have amounted to more than $11 million since 2000 — from this union.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I and federal Labor disassociate ourselves from the remarks that were made yesterday,” Mr Shorten said of the Setka rant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I repudiate in the strongest possible terms what was said yesterday.” Not nearly good enough.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten last year was forced to distance himself from the CFMEU when it compared the government’s then proposed building code with Nazi Germany.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten has also relied on CFMEU support to help change Labor policy in 2015 in favour of <b>asylum boat</b> turn-backs and has been the subject of union demands to oppose the ABCC in exchange for support in his leadership contest with Mr Albanese in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is a dogmatic union that has seen more than 100 of its officials face court on more than 1000 breaches of industrial law and agreements, routinely using stand-over tactics in an attempt to impose CFMEU control over construction sites.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ABCC Commissioner Nigel Hadgkiss yesterday expressed concern for the welfare of his staff following the Setka comments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Given previous incidents of violence and threats against ABCC inspectors, including an anonymous rape threat against a female inspector (which may not have come from a union member), it is no wonder.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, in typical mealy-mouthed fashion, Premier Daniel Andrews refused to directly criticise Mr Setka and simply offered: “I don’t think we are ever well served when people’s families are brought into it.” Again, no, Premier, nowhere near good enough.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The disgraceful public comments made by Mr Setka were a direct threat to ABCC officials and must be condemned. Police will decide whether they amount to a possible criminal offence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Labor leaders, both state and federal, owe the community much more than whacking Mr Setka with a lettuce.He, and his union, should be cut adrift from any association with the ALP — and so should their money.</p>

I was talking to a friend (Col) about this and he is a Vietnam veteran who still suffers from the traumas brought on by the Vietnam War.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Col's response to the Manus settlement was the same as mine - total disgust. These people were illegal immigrants who chose to come here by <b>boat</b> and they have been significantly rewarded. Certainly the conditions in their detention were bad but the average Papua New Guinean lives in poor conditions in areas with much violence. Surely they deserve class action success.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Col's thoughts centred on being a returned soldier from Vietnam, the defoliant used by US Forces known as Agent Orange and what the repercussions of being sprayed were for those who experienced 'an Asian orange sunset through the scrub'.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bruce Dawe's poem Homecoming speaks of the spider grief who 'swings in his bitter geometry'. That spider web woven from that defoliant herbicide, Col pointed out, is still reaching out to many of these veterans of Vietnam. Where is their class action lawsuit?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Apparently 20 million gallons of Agent Orange was sprayed in Vietnam and Cambodian in Operation Ranch Hand and Col and other Aussie soldiers were sprayed. Yes they were dusted off but in the years since the defoliant have been proved to be damaging genes, causing leukaemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma and many other cancers. Where is the class action for these soldiers? The Vietnamese are still dying from and living with the effects. Where is their class action?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I hope readers agree with the need for more class actions for courageous Australians, not illegal immigrants. Locals at Williamtown or Boolaroo with toxic waste in their environment might agree.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I will finish on another class action possibility. I was part of a Stolen Generation. The government has apologised but there are no lawyers lined up at my door (or Col's) to launch a class action. Bruce Dawe was right about that spider called grief and that web he weaves in his 'bitter geometry'.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE report 'Holy delete' (Herald, 19/6) confirms the suspicions felt by many of us that the NSW government certainly did not want to release the original version of the review of scripture in public schools.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Further, we now see that sections of the original report were either deleted, or "sanitised", in the now-publicly available version.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has become increasingly obvious that the delivery of "scripture" (SRI or SRE) in our public, supposedly secular schools is quite unsatisfactory to say the least.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Part of the problem is with those voluntary scripture teachers who are filled with religious zeal and are bent on pushing their own agenda of extreme views on innocent children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The delivery of fact-based education in our public schools is a proud tradition. And the now optional availability of the excellent and popular ethics classes represents a major, positive advancement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If parents wish to have their children indoctrinated daily with religious beliefs, they should enrol them in the many private religious schools or in the increasingly available "Christian" schools. Sadly these schools appear to be increasingly popular because of a supposedly superior ethos or respectability within them compared to state schools.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I think the Sydney Anglican Diocese-backed Generate Ministries has had a major undue and unfair influence on what is taught by some scripture teachers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">SORRY Carl, (Letters, 20/6) but there will be very few 'honorary' positions at the Newcastle racetrack.

True, they are never paid, but they do know, and are trained for, what they're committed to doing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">SINCE opening, there have been many changes in the Manus and Nauru detention facilities. In 2015, the Australian government responded by opening the gates of the Nauru centre, allowing refugees and people seeking <b>asylum</b> to freely move around the Island. But has this done more harm? Nauru has nothing to offer refugees with no jobs, transport or housing outside of the camps. Assaults and rapes from locals or staff to refugees have continued.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This token gesture of 'freedom' has refugees and those seeking <b>asylum</b> frightened to leave the facilities. This 'freedom' is a fallacy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2016, the decision was made to close the camps on Manus Island. But where will the refugees go? Some are living, often homeless or squatting, in Port Moresby, with no opportunities, limited mental health support and continual threats of violence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nauru and PNG are not fit to support and protect refugees and those seeking <b>asylum</b>.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What is even more disturbing is the manner in which the Transport Minister treated the lord mayor over proposed extensions to the light rail.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Extensions will be vital if the light rail is to be viable. It may be worth remembering that some years ago, Save Our Rail released a transport plan for western Newcastle and Lake Macquarie called Westrans. This document contained plans for, among other things, rail, heavy and light, for Newcastle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The plans made a lot of sense. It would make even more sense if our leaders, corporate and government, gave this plan the consideration it deserves. The plan can be found on the Save Our Rail website.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Debate over political Islam is complex and involves more than just sociological reasons.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Efforts by well-meaning apologists to absolve Islam when Muslims in Australia turn to violence are ultimately futile, as the tragic case of Yacqub Khayre in the recent Brighton siege demonstrates.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a <b>refugee</b> worker among Khayre's Somali community, I was among the many Melburnians who welcomed his family from the horrors of civil war. In that decade, I grew to deeply love the Somali people - including Khayre's family. My heart was continually rent by the stories of unimaginable pain and loss so many of my friends had suffered. It was rent again as refuge in Australia failed to break the cycle of violence for the troubled Khayre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Khayre was clearly sending (yet another) salvo across the bows of the narrative that "this has nothing to do with Islam". Surely this has at least something to do with Islam.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I know this because I have discussed theology with the people Khayre hung out with; listened to the Islamic teachers Khayre was influenced by; been to the Islamic centres Khayre has been to; and read the theologians that outline the traditional Islamic approach to politics. In short, whatever social or personal factors drove Khayre's act it was, to some degree, also driven by a traditional Islamic political theology.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Before I explain, let me try to head off the standard "Islamophobia" cry that usually accompanies this kind of claim. I'd like to think my years living and working within Muslim communities offer strong clues that I'm afraid of neither Muslims, nor Islam.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But if that's not enough, I also invested years into understanding Islam on its own terms in the academic setting. I have a PhD in Islamic thought from Melbourne University, undertaken under Muslim supervision, and passed by Muslim markers. Of course, this is no guarantee that my thinking is correct, but at least I'm arguing having read vast quantities of classical and modern Muslim scholarship - in Arabic where necessary. Hopefully this qualifies me for a voice at the table.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If so, my point is this: like it or not, the main schools of traditional Islam have always embraced a theology of politics that recognises the proper use of force in the name of religion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is a distinctive feature of Islam that it is inherently, not just incidentally, political. In short, the traditional Islamic ideal is for any society to be governed by Islamic law. This implies that various state apparatus - including the justice and law enforcement systems - would be legitimately at the disposal of Islamic religion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is not controversial. Theologically trained traditional Muslims do not dispute whether political force can be used to enforce Islam. Instead, the controversy lies in debates about just what forms of force are legitimate, especially within a modern democratic context.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Obviously, these debates are complex, particularly in their handling of situations where Muslims are a minority. They are especially complicated when a Muslim minority perceives itself as victims of serious injustice. This is precisely the situation we are in. All contemporary Islamic political theorising takes place under the shadow of more than a century of Western geopolitical impositions upon the Muslim world that have failed to produce just and prosperous societies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Given this melding of perceived injustice and a political theology that can legitimise the use of power, radical Islamism should be an unsurprising global development.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of course, for nearly all Islamic legal schools, acts of terror are unquestionably an illegitimate use of force in any situation. Moreover, and unquestionably, the vast majority of ordinary Muslims do not fully embrace any sort of traditional Islamic political theology at all. Most simply want to live productive and peaceable lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The problem is, any faith that incorporates a doctrine that its laws might properly be enforced upon society, in any way, opens a range of possible activities to the imaginative disaffected political activist. We should not be surprised, then, when troubled individuals take this to the extreme. Instead, we should expect it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If I'm right about this, then it will not do to couch the debate around handling extremism in purely sociological terms, even though there is clearly a role for that. For all our sakes - including Muslims - we need to embrace mature discussion about political theology. Studies of deradicalisation programs observe the tragic irony that, in tackling extremism as primarily a problem of social dislocation, the message is being sent loudly to Australian Muslims that they are a dislocated "other".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I suggest that a better way forward is to treat Muslims as worthy of rich theological/philosophical engagement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unfortunately, this is a debate that the Australian public square is increasingly ill-equipped to handle. Theological literacy, of any sort, is in rapid decline among Australian intellectuals - including the academy. Indeed, the notion that theology is properly intellectual is an idea subject to ridicule.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those with the theological nous to engage fruitfully - most obviously Christians and Jews - are lumped by radical secularists into the same "crazies" <b>boat</b> as Islamists. But in the encounter with political Islam, we ignore theology at our peril.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first eco-lodge in any of the six national parks managed by the commonwealth government will place tourists in the path of an annual crab migration ­described by Sir David Attenborough as one of the 10 greatest natural wonders on Earth. Each year when the ­island is carpeted with red crabs on their way to the sea to lay eggs, tourists will have to walk rather than drive into the monsoonal rainforest to reach their five-star clifftop chalets.</p>

Island administrator Barry Haase continues to lobby for a frequent direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Christmas Island and says the construction of Swell Lodge will help the Indian Ocean island ­recast itself from an immigration detention centre into a coveted tourist destination.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There has been a view in the past that national parks are for the enjoyment of national park staff and I am delighted that has changed,” Mr Haase said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Christmas Island lodge is being built by Australian couple Chris Bray, 33, and his partner Jess Taunton, 29, who are professional photographers running a boutique photography tourism business that takes enthusiasts to the world’s wildlife hotspots, including Alaska, Antarctica and Africa. They have in recent years guided tourists to Christmas ­Island, where there are dozens of endemic species including the ­endangered Abbott’s booby and Golden Bosun.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The lodge, on a 500m section of cliff on the uninhabited west coast, will open with two chalets early next year. More will be added later.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under Labor between 2007 and 2013, Christmas Island held as many as 6500 <b>asylum</b>-seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> mostly from Indonesia. The island boomed and heaved as guards and bureaucrats poured in, but those days have gone.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of Gillian Triggs' first arguments after she became the nation's human rights protector was not with Tony Abbott, or George Brandis, or Peter Dutton, or the gaggle of media commentators who have spent much of the past five years attacking her.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was with her husband, Alan Brown, a career diplomat of four decades standing, not long after she succeeded Catherine Branson as president of the Australian Human Rights Commission in 2012.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Triggs, 71, tells it, she came home one evening venting that the government was in breach of a particular international treaty obligation, only to be told by her "horrified" husband that her job as a public servant was to support the policies of the government of the day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I replied that not only could I speak out; my statute says I must speak out if particular acts are contrary to Australia's obligations under international law," she recalls.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Brown, 82, says the discussion led him to study the Human Rights Commission Act, which made it crystal-clear that it was the president's role to draw attention to government actions that were inconsistent with international treaties covering human rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"As a public servant, I was fully aware that I was there to carry out government policy and, if I didn't agree with government policy, it was not my place to publicly contest it," he explains. "But after reading the statute, I understood that she needed to take a different position."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What neither Brown nor Triggs anticipated was that she would become one of the most controversial and polarising statutory office-holders in Australia's history: lauded for her fearless and unflinching advocacy by human rights groups and vilified by the right-wing commentariat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many in the latter camp have argued that Triggs' departure is an opportunity to abolish the commission altogether. Chris Kenny, for instance, says Triggs' tenure has exposed the commission as "a self-indulgent joke" that has had more success infringing upon human rights that defending them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs is unbowed. Of Kenny, perhaps the most vociferous of her many critics at The Australian, she says: "He keeps swirling the same facts over and over again, and they are not true for a start - and that's all he's got. I've never met him. He's never phoned me or made any attempt to understand anything. It's just been a full-on attack."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many in the former camp see her as a national hero who refused to yield in the face of extraordinary pressure. "I don't think there has been anyone in such a high position of public office who has been treated so terribly," says Labor senator Lisa Singh.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This wasn't what Triggs expected when she retired as the dean of the Sydney Law School after a four-decade career as an international lawyer when Nicola Roxon, the country's first female attorney-general, appointed her president of the commission in July 2012 with a five-year term.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My predecessor had been a former judge, very well regarded, done a great job, hadn't been in the media much at all," Triggs tells <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>. "She'd had her battles of principle, but been very effective in achieving change, and I thought I'd do exactly the same thing."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What put Triggs offside with the newly elected Coalition government was her decision in March 2012 to hold an inquiry into children in immigration detention. "Within a few months of that it was full on and it's been full on, pretty much ever since," she says in an interview before her departure from the role next month.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What rankled the government most was that the inquiry had not been called when Labor was still in power, given that the problem of unauthorised <b>boat</b> arrivals had been solved before John Howard left office and returned under Labor, with the number of children in detention peaking around two months before Labor was defeated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs' response was that the inquiry had been intended to proceed in 2014, 10 years after the commission's first inquiry into children in detention, but it was delayed to ensure that it was not politicised by the 2013 election campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It was very hard to make the point that I, as president, had called the inquiry because of the period the children had been detained, rather than the fact of their detention. When you are doing an inquiry, you're inquiring into the past and that past was predominantly Labor, but that point just got lost," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Certainly, it got lost on Coalition senators Ian Macdonald and Barry O'Sullivan, who never accepted this argument and took every opportunity when she appeared at Senate estimates hearings to challenge her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While it was often unpleasant, Triggs is satisfied that she worked out ways to get her message across, no matter how hard the senators went for her. "Whether it was the right strategy or not, I don't know, but it did mean the public would see someone standing up to people I think were bullies."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When the inquiry handed down its report in February 2015, then immigration minister Scott Morrison dismissed the evidence gathered over eight months as "out of date" and meaningless because "the children are pretty much out".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Tony Abbott went further, accusing the commission of being blatantly partisan and saying it should be ashamed of itself.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Forgotten Children report spanned 315 pages and devoted a chapter to the plight of 116 children who were still on Nauru, concluding they were suffering from "extreme levels of physical, emotional, psychological and developmental distress" and identifying multiple breaches of the Convention of the Rights of the Child. Many of the conclusions were vindicated when the government was forced to commission its own inquiry, the Moss Review.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the weeks before the release of the report, Triggs came under sustained attack after The Australian revealed that she called for the release of John Basikbasik, an Indonesian <b>refugee</b> who spent seven years in detention after serving a seven-year prison term for the violent manslaughter of his wife.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After receiving a complaint lodged by Basikbasik, Triggs not only concluded his detention was "arbitrary" and contrary to international law, she proposed he receive $350,000 in compensation. Abbott responded by accusing Triggs of making a "bizarre" decision that was likely to "shake people's confidence in institutions such as the Human Rights Commission".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Other government figures were even less constrained, with Morrison accusing her of having a "no consequences" view of the world that threatened public safety.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the time, a defiant Triggs replied that it was her job to assess complaints according to international law and that Basikbasik's continued detention after serving his sentence was a clear breach of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, especially given the absence of any plan to rehabilitate him or consider conditions to minimise the risk of his reoffending if released.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked if this was the first low of his wife's tenure, Brown tells <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>: "I don't think she's the sort of person who has lows. She would wish it had not happened, and I think she was expecting a bit more support from government for the commission. But when it didn't come, she had to stand on her own, except that she wasn't on her own. She was getting a lot of support from other people, myself included."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What was not revealed until after the government launched its attack on the Forgotten Children report was that Attorney-General George Brandis had sought Triggs' resignation two weeks before the report was tabled and indicated to Triggs that another job offer would be forthcoming if she went.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The message was conveyed to Triggs by a senior official in the Attorney-General's Department, Greg Moraitis, a respected public servant who had studied international law under Triggs at the <span class="companylink">University of Melbourne</span> and been legal counsellor at the Australian embassy in Paris when Alan Brown was ambassador.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Looking back on the approach, Triggs said it was all rather absurd because Brandis should have understood that hers was a statutory five-year appointment and she was never going to resign as a result of pressure from the government she was statute-bound to hold to account.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Labor called in the <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span> to investigate whether any laws had been broken, Triggs made it plain she saw it as a political matter and did not want the matter to be pursued.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I really saw the thing as farcical, more than anything else, and very quickly overcame it," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It was a disgrace that he [Brandis] sends a public servant along to do it. He didn't even have the personal courage to ring me. He never once in any discussion with me ever challenged my ability and yet would choose to do it publicly."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Triggs says she now has no personal relationship with the Attorney-General, she insists the pair have worked well together on issues that have required collaboration, including reforming her Act. "But it's nothing like what you'd want in a relationship with an Attorney because you really want to be able to talk to the Attorney about matters which are of great concern, like rising numbers of children in out of home care, or seeing if there is anything we can do in promoting proper constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And what about Malcolm Turnbull, the prime minister who succeeded Abbott, who announced in November that Triggs' appointment would not be renewed when her term expired?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Well, he's always courteous and pleasant, but he was singularly unpleasant when it came to an extraordinary announcement that I would not be reappointed, when I had made it very clear to the Attorney two years earlier that I was not seeking reappointment. So that was a pure political act that was completely unnecessary and factually misleading."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As with Brandis, Triggs rues the opportunity lost to work more closely with the Prime Minister on strategies to strengthen community organisations and civil society and minimise the risk of alienation and radicalisation, strategies she says are in urgent need of attention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What she says caused her more concern was The Australian's pursuit over the commission's handling of two highly contentious complaints under section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, one involving students from the <span class="companylink">Queensland University of Technology</span>, the other a cartoon by the late Bill Leak.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to News Corp columnist Andrew Bolt, who was found to have breached 18C in 2011, the commission "touted for complaints about a cartoon by Bill Leak, who was brought in for questioning and put under so much pressure that his children believe that's what led to his fatal heart attack".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs has none of it. She insists the cartoon, depicting an Indigenous man with a beer can who could not recall his son's name, did raise an 18C issue and that the commission was advised by Leak's lawyers that they were not going to rely on the defence under 18D of the act that the cartoon was commentary made in good faith on an issue of national importance. News vigorously disputes this.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The controversy prompted a push to change the section to make it lawful to offend, insult and intimidate on the basis of race. When the push was defeated in the Senate, sweeping procedural reforms that were supported by the commission were introduced, including greater powers for the president of the commission to terminate unwarranted complaints.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Had she had the enhanced power in the Leak case, Triggs says she would have used it to terminate the Leak complaint on the basis of the 18D defence. Of the decorated cartoonist's death, she says: "It was a horrible tragedy for him and his family, but nothing whatsoever to do with the commission."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs says the antidote for the relentless criticism has always been an engagement with Australians across the country that has left her convinced there is strong support for more humane treatment of those who came to this country seeking protection, but without an invitation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The eye-opener as an international lawyer has been realising how isolated and exceptionalist Australia is in relation to human rights issues - that we do not see things through the prism of rights and freedoms," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We have a very different approach which we like to sum up as a fair go, and up to a point it works because Australians do have a sense of what is fair and what is not fair, but it doesn't get the depth of the problems facing particular groups in Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All of which suggests that, while Triggs plans to write a book about her five years as president (but not a "nasty kind of kiss-and-tell kind of thing") she will not be walking away from advocacy, or incurring the wrath of the critics, when she steps aside.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Malcolm Turnbull made his first official visit to Papua New Guinea in early April, a ­series of gaffes lit up local social media, reinforcing perceptions of Australian disrespect for its nearest neighbour.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Social media is important in PNG (there are 700,000 <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> users alone). It’s influential in the development of an increasingly activist middle class, a group the edgy government of Prime Minister Peter O’Neill repeatedly threatens to curb.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And the gaffes? Initially there was a fiery accusation by former PM Mekere Morauta that Turnbull’s visit was timed to interfere with PNG’s impending national election. Then local journalists were excluded from two press conferences (the Australian high commission later apologised for an ‘‘oversight’’), a business breakfast faced allegations of race discrimination, and Turnbull clumsily evaded questions about Australia’s marooned Manus <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An irritated Opposition Leader Don Polye reminded Turnbull that PNG was no longer an Australian colony. It wasn’t quite the ‘‘hail fellow well met’’ chumminess that the Australian PM might have expected from our largest aid recipient and erstwhile shield against threats from the north.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indeed the visit demonstrated something observers had suspected for some time: that, exacerbated by the Manus <b>refugee</b> imbroglio, much has changed in the relationship between Australia and PNG.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is an association that goes back 140 years and, as Bruce Hunt emphasises in his absorbing and elegantly crafted book Australia’s Northern Shield?, the relationship has been grounded in the notion that there could be no secure Australia if the island of New Guinea was not itself secure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 1884, when Germany annexed northeast New Guinea, nervous Australia colonies persuaded Britain to acquire the unclaimed southeast of the island, for which Australia became responsible. Then, in September 1914, Australia’s first military action of World War I saw it taking control of northeast New Guinea when an expeditionary force seized Rabaul from the German garrison.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This large chunk of territory — from Manus to Bougainville — was later formally secured by Australia under the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, bringing the entire eastern half of the island of New Guinea under our formal control.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then prime minister Billy Hughes took the opportunity to remind the Australian parliament of “how utterly the safety of Australia depended upon the possession of these islands”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it required a sequence of seismic events that began 20 years later to stir significant action: first the Japanese invasion of 1942, then the growing global anti-colonial movement of the 1950s, Indonesia’s Konfrontasi and the Dutch abdication of West Papua in the early 1960s, and proto-nationalist civil strife in New Britain and Bougainville in the late 60s. On September 16, 1975, Australia relinquished sovereignty, creating the new nation of Papua New Guinea. All went reasonably well until the Bougainville Civil War of the 90s, in which Australia played a major and unhelpful role.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The past 20 years have been dogged by issues of ‘‘governance’’: that is, concern about how PNG spends Australia’s aid contribution, which this year is $558 million plus another $500m for the Manus <b>refugee</b> detention centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hunt relates an enthralling political history and it is a shame the book effectively ends in 1977, soon after PNG’s independence, with just a short final chapter to bring it to the present. The 40 years since deserve equally meticulous and insightful treatment, and given that Hunt is a masterful researcher, analyst and narrator, perhaps this challenge is within his gift.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He sums up that “PNG is no longer seen as a shield or bulwark to protect Australia from invasion”. Perhaps, but it seems to be emerging instead as a stage for big-power political engagement right on our doorstep. It’s about five years since US-China tensions began to escalate in the western Pacific, strategic rivalry that has seen China boost its soft power in the ­Pacific islands and its military power in the South China Sea. The US’s reactive ‘‘pivot’’ included the deployment of 2500 marines to the region, some of them in Australia’s north.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In this context, John Kocsis, writing in the Harvard Political Review, referred to PNG as the “understudied proxy nation … whose domestic political instability has made it a surprising focus of American and Chinese geopolitical manoeuvring”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">PNG’s great resource wealth, political instability, developmental backwardness and elite venality are topics that emerge in discussions of the country, often blurring a more balanced understanding of what might constitute a strategically apposite relationship with Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When it was little more than an inert landmass with a people just opening their eyes to the outside world, PNG could be aptly perceived as a shield. Now, however, PNG is home to a well-educated and growing middle class that is increasingly fed up with the serial failures of an inept and kleptocratic political leadership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While in official pronouncements Australia states that we have “a special relationship” with PNG, the truth is we have fallen well short of being a true strategic partner, and nor are we an honest broker. In fact, there is much in our attitude to PNG that has a colonial appearance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Polye reminded Turnbull that PNG was no longer an Australian colony, he added: “We must be treated with respect.” His words would have been unnecessary were Australia conducting the relationship in a competent manner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over the past 20 years, Australia’s relationship with PNG has drifted from aspiring to ­strategic partnership, to a more pragmatic formulation. The “new narrative encompassing a shared vision”, which Julie Bishop spoke of as foreign affairs spokeswoman, never developed. Instead, Australia’s inducements to PNG to accept unwanted refugees were a real-life enactment of a preconception that ‘‘if we pay PNG enough, they’ll do what we want’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It seems that Australia, perceiving PNG as a place to which we could delegate the political issue of <b>boat</b> arrivals, and PNG, seeing us a place that would reward it handsomely for the privilege, managed to give effect to an opportunism that has crowded out more important geo-strategic considerations and a more mature and cohesive relationship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So could the new threat in our immediate neighbourhood be Australia’s failure to convert Hunt’s historical shield into a more sophisticated and embracing concord developed on the strong foundation of an equal, honest and authentic relationship?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Between the escalation of China’s influence and the shallow, money-based association we have nurtured with PNG, Australia may already be well advanced in creating a major strategic problem for itself. PNG is no longer a shield but a bastion of disaffection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hunt takes as one of his opening quotes a citation from the 2016 defence white paper: “Australia cannot be secure if our immediate neighbourhood, including PNG, became the source of a threat to Australia.” It would indeed be a paradox if it was our own failure to maintain an effective and understanding relationship with PNG that proved to be the underlying cause of that threat.Keith Jackson is publisher of the PNG Attitude blog and a regular writer on the Australia-PNG relationship.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The settlement also puts paid to the legal fiction of the government's equally insistent claim it has no moral or legal responsibility for the centres in Papua New Guinea and Nauru, even though it pays for them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The publicly available 166-page statement of claim alleges the plaintiffs were kept in dirty, overcrowded and overheated facilities, were subject to violent and ant-social behaviour from security staff and other detainees, and were deprived of sufficient drinking water, hygiene products and medications. The Herald has accepted that offshore detention can act as a deterrent to <b>asylum</b> seekers undertaking dangerous <b>boat</b> trips, but we have always insisted that the deterrence needs to be humane and cause the least harm possible. Manus Island is to close in October. Up to 1250 refugees from there and from the Nauru detention centre are to be resettled in the US under the deal reached between Malcolm Turnbull and Barack Obama, which Donald Trump is reluctantly honouring. That is a good thing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Nauru facility remains, however, and so does the problem. The <span class="companylink">UN</span>'s special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, Francois Crepeau, declared after visiting Nauru that "Australia is responsible for the damage inflicted to these <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees and that the involuntary geographical and psychological confinement ... constitutes cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The court settlement is a reminder, if we needed one, that inhumane treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers in offshore detention centres is not only unnecessary, cruel and unlawful, but exposes the Australian government and taxpayers grave legal and financial consequences as well as moral ones.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has decided to use his power to override the AAT and cancel the visas of all six Iran­ian <b>boat</b> people.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is the latest in a series of moves which indicate Mr Dutton has lost patience with the AAT repeatedly foiling ­attempts by the Immigration Department to deport foreign-born criminals and economic refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun last month revealed murderers, rapists, paedophiles, armed robbers and drug dealers were among criminals the AAT had saved from deportation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton is planning to introduce new legislation to widen his power to set aside rulings to include citizenship decisions made by the AAT.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Where a visa has been ­issued and then cancelled by the minister, it can be referred to the AAT,” he said yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If the AAT reinstates the visa, then the minister of the day can substitute that decision with a new decision.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The minister does have the ability to substitute a decision of the AAT, which I did in relation to those six Iranians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But at the moment, no such arrangements exists for citizenship applications, so the decision of the AAT can’t be overruled by the minister — and that’s what we are seeking to change.” AAT statistics reveal it has overturned 4389 visa decisions made by delegates for Mr Dutton in the past year — that equates to the AAT rejecting a staggering 39 per cent of the ministerial visa decisions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun is aware of cases where the AAT has granted citizenship to a convicted people smuggler, a man convicted of sexual assaults against boys and a convicted killer. It did so despite the Immigration Department recommending the criminals were not worthy of being granted citizenship because they were not of good character.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton’s decision to cancel the visas of the six Iranians came just days after the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun revealed he had stepped in to ensure sex creep Melbourne taxi driver Jagdeep Singh was kicked out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton’s intervention in the Singh case came after the AAT overturned a decision by Mr Dutton’s delegate to cancel Singh’s visa after he pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting a female passenger. The AAT reinstated Singh’s visa despite making a formal finding that he committed “a significant sexual offence”.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sue Masters is upbeat about the prospects for local content on TV</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If television veteran Sue Masters sounds too modest about her achievements, namely credits as a screen producer that read like a rollcall of every memorable Australian drama for the past 35 years, it is born of a career spent “enabling” and “amplifying” the talents of writers, directors and actors to do their best work.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Some series have 12 or 24 executive producers,” she says. “It doesn’t surprise me that people think we are a dime a dozen.” But from The Young Doctors (1982) to Brides of Christ (1991), and Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries (2013) to The Principal (2015), among many others, she says the process is the same: supervising up to a year of script development, assembling the team from the director down, financing, ­producing and internationally marketing the finished series.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now head of scripted drama at <span class="companylink">SBS</span> after occupying similar positions at ABC and Ten over recent years, Masters began her career in Hollywood as a TV writer, penning episodes of classics such as The Love <b>Boat</b>, Laverne & Shirley and Happy Days. “As a bit of a shy person, I reckon if I hadn’t been in America I would never have tried my hand at producing. As a writer you assume you probably can’t add or subtract,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This Thursday sees the return on <span class="companylink">SBS</span> of The Family Law, a series based on Benjamin Law’s 2010 memoir of the same name about growing up in a dysfunctional but loving Chinese family on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. “We are thrilled to bits about it,” Masters says. “There is still that central dynamic between Ben (Trystan Go) and his mother Jenny (Fiona Choi), which is the heart and soul of the series, but season two is just so much more confident.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I think we got more seasoned in the scripts and, if anything, funnier. With almost every cast member relatively inexperienced last time, it was particularly joyous seeing them all come back and being that much more confident in their roles.” Masters has two other major TV projects for the multicultural broadcaster under way.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first is the four-part crime thriller Sunshine, which she ­describes as “Friday Night Lights meets The Night Of”, expected to premiere later this year. Starring Anthony LaPaglia, Vince Colosimo, Kym Gyngell and Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men, Togetherness), it is set among the young men of Melbourne’s South Sudanese community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s the story of a young man, Jacob, a star basketball player with a very traumatic past who ­reluctantly gets caught up in a joy ride. For one fabulous night he and his mates feel like kings, but he is then accused of a grievous bodily harm charge and all of his dreams are jeopardised and it’s a question of what happened on that night,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The second is Safe Harbour, a four-part “high-concept” psychological thriller being filmed in Brisbane about a group of friends whose sailing holiday is up-ended when they cross paths with a fishing <b>boat</b> overloaded with <b>asylum</b>-seekers en route to Australia. They begin assisting the distressed passengers and towing their <b>boat</b>, but during the night the tow rope is mysteriously cut.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Starring Jacqueline McKenzie, Ewen Leslie, Phoebe Tonkin (H2O Just Add Water), Joel Jackson (Deadline Gallipoli) and Leeanna Walsman (Seven Types of Ambiguity), the series is expected to premiere next year. “Four years later after the events at sea we ­return to Brisbane and our central character, Ryan, recognises a taxi driver as one of the refugees, and it begins this psychological mystery about who cut the rope and why.” They come at a time when <span class="companylink">SBS</span> has been included in criticism levelled at the ABC about the quantity of locally produced content it airs, as reported in The Weekend Australian on Saturday. There are, growing calls for quotas to be ­imposed on public broadcasters. <span class="companylink">SBS</span> has also come in for sustained criticism for the heavily American programming of its <span class="companylink">SBS</span> Viceland channel, which ­replaced <span class="companylink">SBS</span> Two late last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For her part, Masters points to an improving tempo of local drama production <span class="companylink">SBS</span> is making about 12 hours of local drama each year, up from four hours in 2015, before which there was a “hiatus” of several years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I came to <span class="companylink">SBS</span> via The Principal in 2015, and it was by no means certain that we had a scripted drama future at that time, except that the series really performed for the network creatively and commercially,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Before we had even gone to air, it had sold internationally, which is a bit unusual. Over the last three years the international climate has changed from when distributors only wanted really ‘white bread’ stuff in volume to now really wanting distinctive work that ­reflects the diversity of our world.” There is another skill that Masters says is mandatory in a producer’s repertoire: crystal ball-gazing. With a minimum of two years from conception to premiere, trying to judge a TV series that will connect with the future zeitgeist is sometimes stressful.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We do sometimes worry, ‘Oh my god, are people not going to be interested in this in two years?’ ” No doubt appreciating how a good TV ending often references the beginning, Masters intends to return one day to writing. Her ­inspiration is her mother, Olga Masters, who died in 1986 aged 67; she was a NSW country ­journalist who retired to become a celebrated author.“I do dream of living by the beach and writing in my imminent old age,” she says.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Loan and Lua had been facing lengthy prison terms in Vietnam for helping to organise "illegal" departures to Australia on family-owned fishing boats in 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the end of January 2017, they fled Vietnam for Australia again, only to be rescued 10 days later from their sinking <b>boat</b> off the Java coast by Indonesian authorities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The families were among 92 Vietnamese <b>asylum</b> seekers intercepted in two separate incidents by the Australian navy in 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Assessed at sea and found not to warrant protection, they were forcibly returned after the Australian government received written assurance from its Vietnamese counterpart that returnees would not be punished. Several members of the two groups were subsequently incarcerated, including Lua, who has complained of being severely mistreated in prison.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Loan, her family had originally left in 2015 because the state had seized their land, they had lost their livelihood due to Chinese incursions into fishing grounds, and also because of discrimination against Catholics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Taken into Australian custody and held at sea for almost a month, they underwent "enhanced screening" by two officials. While Australian authorities claimed they were fairly assessed, Loan said a translator was not provided for the group, none of whom spoke English. They only realised they were being returned when they reached port in Vietnam.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Loan's husband, Ho Trung Loi, was sentenced at the time to two years' jail in Vietnam, seven hours away from the family home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was recently released after being forced to sign a document stating that he had not been mistreated. He is now under police watch, forbidden to leave his local area without express permission.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last December, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton signed a formal agreement with Vietnam's public security minister, Lieutenant-General To Lam, to return "Vietnamese nationals with no legal right to enter or remain in Australia".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The families in Jakarta now hope to find another country which will offer them a haven.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Canada, which is prepared to take 300,000 immigrants this year, is a serious option. "Despite their assurance refugees would face no sanctions or retributions for leaving the country, the government of Vietnam continues to jail, beat, torture and prosecute refugees returned to them by the Australian government," Canadian senator Thanh Hai Ngo said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The idea of a Tasmanian holiday in winter was once worthy of a chuckle. After all, even the locals cleared out in search of warmer climes. But something has changed. The Tasmanian winter in recent years has become awfully desirable for many Australians – the chilled destination of choice.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dark Mofo has a lot to do with this. Inquisitive “mainlanders” pop over to find out why hundreds line the River Derwent shores bare-bottomed to take a winter solstice dip. Others are drawn by flaming fire pots, winter feasting and mulled Apple Isle cider. Even locals keep their feet firmly on home turf so as not to miss the mid-winter merriment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it’s not just the festivals. Australia’s first story-telling hotel, MACq 01, joins a collection of new doors opening in recent months. Plus, the air is crisp and clear in Tassie winter – some of the freshest on the planet. Wild trails are uncrowded. Lodgings glow in World Heritage wilderness. Those who want to get away can feel very, very far away; literally, on the world’s edge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">WILD ESCAPES There’s a corner of Tassie that has sat largely quiet since the bustling tin mining days of the 1890s. Yet, this year a tiny town named Derby hit the international stage, hosting the Enduro World Series mountain bike race, a first for Australia. The buzz was palpable – riders from more than 30 countries descended on Derby’s world class network of trails, downhill at a very fast rate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But you don’t have to be a Spanish downhill pro for these parts. The recently launched Blue Derby Pods Ride rolls you into lush forest across three days of pod-based pedalling. With a dialogue punctuated with rich history, guides weave riders through ability-comfy trails before removing helmets and morphing into pseudo-chefs. Riders then retreat to private eco-pods tucked among Tasmanian blackwoods. By day three, each may well experience what those mountain bikers refer to as “flow”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another new kid on the wilderness block is the multi-day Wild Pedder walk. Co-founders Lou and Cody, your chief guides, like to wear short shorts. Aside from this, they know Tasmania’s south west intimately. It’s not an ordinary four-day saunter though. The boys have incorporated a kayaking day on Lake Pedder (one of Australia’s largest freshwater lakes) while climbing to the top of Mt Eliza involves all-fours at times. Wild Pedder is a step up on the wild scale, but is equally matched in top-notch fireside dinners. The experience is farewelled with wine on the hilltop at Meadowbank.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has already been hailed as Australia’s best coastal walk, but you be the judge along the cliff-hugging Three Capes Track. Meticulously built, the 46km trail takes four days past architecturally designed cabins dotted along the peninsula.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With next stop Antarctica, this is edge of the world walking. Plus, in 2018, the Tasmanian Walking Company will launch its fully guided offering.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If you don’t have time for multi-day wilderness immersion, opt for a wilderness quickie. New outfit Tasmanian E-bike Adventures offers full and half day tours at Bangor, a property where Abel Tasman sent men ashore to plant the Dutch flag.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Find the “turbo button” and hills be gone. The land is also home to Bangor Wine & Oyster Shed. A roaring fire in winter is the go, coupled with oysters and wine. What’s more, you can see the bay and vines from the shed. Or head east, hop on the new Aqua Taxi and spend a day exploring remote Schouten Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only have a few hours spare? From the GPO to Mt Wellington’s summit is barely the time it takes to drink a hot chocolate. But don’t get one in town. Stop in at The Springs halfway up and you’ll find Lost Freight. The funky shipping container may be under snow but it’s not lost. It has warm drinks and sweet treats for mitten-wearing wanderers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">FOODIE FINDS Let’s take a trip down the valley for some foodie finds unrivalled. There’s still time to catch the Huon Valley Mid Winter Festival (July 14-16) at Willie Smith’s Apple Shed. It’s likely the only time you’ll sing to an apple tree. Known as wassailing, the tradition is designed to scare nasty spirits from the orchard, ensuring a ripper autumn crop. No need to dress up and bang pots though, you can stick to craft cider and live tunes or try the recently released Charles Oates Apple Blanco.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Near Cygnet, spend the day with Gourmet Farmer Matthew Evans at Fat Pig Farm. There’ll be gumboots, pigs to meet and seasonal produce to gather followed by wood-fired cooking. Winter braises, hearty soups and all manner of comfort food is on this season’s menu.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The day culminates in a farmhouse feast at the long-table with wines matched to each course. Not far away is the Cygnet Woodfired Bakehouse. This “unplugged” artisan bakehouse has everything from croissants to crusty loaves emerging from its wood oven.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the Derwent Valley, opening mid-June is The Agrarian Kitchen Eatery and Store. Located in Willow Court, a former mental <b>asylum</b>, the entire site pre-dates Port Arthur.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s something to ponder over lunch at an eatery delivered by Rodney Dunn and his wife, Severine Demanet, the folk behind Lachlan’s much-loved Agrarian Kitchen. Back in the city, Aloft Restaurant remains at the top of its game. Sit by the River Derwent views or opt for a seat at the bar and watch the open-kitchen at exquisite play. The list of newbies to town includes Landscape, Miss Jane, Fico, Dier Makr and Etties (with a cosy piano bar). The list doesn’t stop there though. Crumb Street Diner and Rude Boy bring a little neon to the streetscape.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">SPIRITS & BARS Thought about coming by <b>boat</b> to the island? Devonport has reinvented its welcome. Don’t hit the highway south but explore an unassuming yet striking northwest coastline. Pop into the new Southern Wild Distillery. Food scientist turned distiller George Burgess has a trio of gins that delivers a journey from mountain to meadow to ocean. Dasher + Fisher gins are named after two snow-melt rivers running from Cradle Mountain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Burgess even sources botanicals from his own rural herb garden to get genuine regional flavours into the bottle. The sophisticated space will relocate to Providore Place later this year. The venue includes Ben Milbourne’s (of Channel 10’s Ben’s Menu) much-anticipated new restaurant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Also new to town is Empress Craft Beer, located in the Hill Street Centre. Delivered by the peeps behind loyally-patronised Saint John Craft Beer in Launceston, the Empress has more than 200 different beers, artisan spirits and a friendly northwest feel dressed in a suave fitout.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the south, drop into the Brooke Street Pier to sample Hartshorn vodka, the world’s first sheep whey vodka. If you’re lucky, head distiller Ryan Hartshorn just might be there to pour you a nip. His family runs Grandvewe Cheeses (another must try) and the ingenious fellow has transformed the largely discarded whey from cheese-making into vodka that has reached the shelves of New York. Also note, Tasmanian Whisky Week is August 4-13. Distilleries, stables, bars and even barns are part of the whisky story that’s seemingly so grand it goes for 10 days not seven.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">REST YOUR HEAD This month, MACq 01’s doors opened to reveal some cracker Tasmanian tales. Some 114 to be precise. The much-anticipated waterfront stay is Australia’s first storytelling hotel. Every room shares the story of a local character. Some are hardy and resilient; others curious and creative. With more penthouses than ever seen in Tasmania, the hotel describes its style as “informal luxury”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A master storyteller shares stories dating back 35,000 years when the Mouheneener people fished marshy shallows where the hotel now stands. MACq01’s large communal fire is the place to sit this winter. Don’t forget to look above. That’s another story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Prefer the highlands? Ratho Farm, an hour from Hobart’s CBD is home to our nation’s newest 18-hole golf course, from the brains behind Barnbougle Dunes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gathering close to the homestead’s crackling open fire has a way of transporting one back a century or more. Wrap your mitts around a local single-malt and hear Ratho stories dating back to 1822.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From golfing royalty to bushrangers and a Melbourne Cup winner, the farm has a colourful past. Hearty shared meals, deep couches and convict-built renovated cottages complete the endearing feel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thousand Lakes Lodge, once a training facility for Antarctic expeditioners, offers world-class trout fishing and World Heritage area wandering right from the front door. Motorsport champ Marcos Ambrose and four other investors officially opened the lodge this year. A fireplace designed by Ambrose took nine burly men to shift into place.If you’re into wine country, Relbia Lodge is the ultimate stay in northern Tasmania. The lakeside lodging is a direct neighbour of award-winning Josef Chromy Wines. If an olive grove takes your fancy, rest your head at newly built Rochford Hall. Or, if you’re seeking a bed atop Australia’s deepest freshwater lake, Pumphouse Point has become a firm wilderness favourite.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">W hen I was seven years old my family and I were the subject of a feature article in The West Australian . It is now my turn to finish the story … this continues the story.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Afghanistan’s population is divided among 14 ethnic groups — the Pashtuns are the largest and Hazaras the third largest ethnic minority. Hazaras have been a target for persecution by the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> for many years simply because of their ethnicity and beliefs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While most Afghans follow Sunni Islam, Hazaras are predominantly Shi’ite Muslims. They have Asiatic features and speak Dari, a Persian dialect.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I was born into this hated minority and I was born as a target for death … I was born a Hazara.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My memory of Afghanistan is a blur, but my mother’s isn’t. Memories of dead bodies lying around their house and village remain crystal clear. She never saw my father’s body after his murder and this has had lasting consequences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She is one of the strongest women I know. At 29, she made the dangerous journey to Australia with her five kids. Crossing borders from Afghanistan to Indonesia, she was then stuck for two weeks on a wooden <b>boat</b>, cramped with sick men, women and children. Waves battered the <b>boat</b>, food and water were scarce, men were crying, women hoping and children wondering.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After a very long and life-threatening journey, the Royal Australian Navy finally spotted our wooden <b>boat</b>. Everyone aboard was taken to Christmas Island and then to a detention centre for interviews during an indeterminate stay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was 2000 and I was six years old when my mother, my four siblings and I were released and sent to Perth. My family were the first to be freed from wired fences, big tall gates and security, but we were finally free for the first time in our lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A tall, mature woman with white hair and blue eyes met my family. She spoke to us in a foreign language, English, which none of us understood. She was the volunteer who had been delegated by a community group, CARAD (Centre for Refugees, <b>Asylum</b> Seekers and Detainees), to help us settle into a house in Beaconsfield.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She was kind and friendly, she wasn’t there to lock us up again. Her warm, friendly smile said it all. Her name is Judyth Watson and to this day our friendship with her continues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I was seven when I had my first sleepover with my sister at Judyth’s house. Sedika slept like a baby but I was sleepless and fretting for my father. Judyth thought she might have to take me home and we sat outside, me on her lap.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like other <b>refugee</b> mothers, mine still held hope, which she passed on to us, that one day Dad would return. But his political activity and murder was the reason we left. I know I badly wanted him to be there and looked for his face every morning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the night of the sleepover when we were sitting outside, I apparently complained about the light of the full moon. Judyth explained that wherever my dad might be the same moon would be shining like that on him in Afghanistan. I remember feeling very safe then.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To this day I get a really nice feeling, almost a comforting one, from large bright moons.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And this brings me to two points I want to make about all refugees wherever they have come from.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We need to feel and to be safe. Some recent world events can rock that feeling of security because there are people, including some politicians and some media outlets, that make outlandish statements about “all” Muslims and “all” refugees, especially those arriving by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, the kindness of strangers is also an element that can’t be measured. When we had a family party to celebrate getting permanent residence, about 60 West Australians came. Most were CARAD volunteers, but our teachers, lawyers and psychologists were also there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two police officers — who had come to another house to reassure us that there was no man waiting in the roof to hurt us, just two possums running wild — sent a message of congratulations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no tradition of volunteering in Afghanistan and early on it was puzzling that people who aren’t family would give us and others time, money and all kinds of help.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These are aspects about life in WA that should be better celebrated and for which I know refugees are very thankful. Judyth has been there for every event, for Mum and all five kids through all our schooling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Growing up, I found it difficult to fit in, both in and out of school. I was torn between two cultures and two religions. I was teased to tears in primary school for the way my mother dressed and for wearing her hijab and for my accent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My brother and I were found places at a Catholic primary school and later different secondary schools for better education and care. These Catholic schools were very kind, understanding and generous towards my brother and me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In primary school, I became extremely attached and close to my best friend. I was invited to all her parties — Christmas, Easter and birthdays, and sometimes even attended church with her family on Sundays. I learnt the Catholic religion better than Islam.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She also joined my family parties, Afghan dinners and came for sleepovers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">High schools, including the Catholic one, were very difficult for me, because teenage life on its own is hard enough and I thought I knew better than anyone what would be best for me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At school I would mingle and communicate with both girls and boys, but outside of school I had to be very cautious and conservative. At school I was able to wear skirts and dresses without covering my legs; outside of school I had to be a traditional Afghan girl.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Basically, I had to behave and dress differently in school to fit in with Australian “normal” kids and at home I had to fit into the Afghan traditions. I couldn’t be like my school friends out of school. I was lost.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Being a <b>refugee</b> felt like I lost my identity. I felt like I didn’t really have one, I was torn between two different cultures and religions, I felt absolutely alienated, an outcast in both cultures and I was angry with the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2011, I decided to visit Afghanistan with my mother to see her father. I wanted to find out about Afghanistan, the country of my birth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A highlight was to visit the home we built and left so long before. I found an old photo of my dad there taken when he was 14-16 and have treasured it for years. But it was clear that I didn’t fit in there either. I wasn’t fluent in Dari, everyone picked at my accent and I wasn’t exactly fitting in with the living conditions there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What I learnt from that trip is that Australia is my country and Perth is my home and, as different as I am, I am still Australian, and that’s what my passport says. Growing up in WA, I was given many opportunities, which I took, and created dreams for myself, some of which I have achieved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has now been just over 17 years since I came to Perth. I speak fluent English. I can cook snags, I make delicious pavlova and have a BA majoring in journalism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I don’t feel lost any more or torn between two cultures, I am the new generation of Afghan-Australians. That is my identity. Thank you, WA, to all those kind strangers who have helped us since we arrived.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I was torn between two cultures.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The body of Asghar Ali, a Hazara <b>refugee</b> from Pakistan, remains in a Victorian morgue nearly two months after his death - a situation lawyers say is disturbingly common.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The father of three, who came to Australia by <b>boat</b> before 2013 and was granted protection, died at LaTrobe Regional Hospital on April 16, shortly after his 39th birthday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Documents provided to <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> show his wife Masooma applied for an Australian tourist visa on April 23. The application was refused five weeks later, on May 30.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a letter, an immigration department official acknowledged a "compelling and compassionate" case for granting the visa, but said they also needed to consider her personal circumstances and the relative attractiveness of Australia compared to Pakistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Although I am very sympathetic to your desire to be present at your husband's funeral during this difficult time, I am not satisfied that the compassionate grounds outweigh the concerns I have over your compliance with the conditions that will be placed on any visa granted to you," the immigration official wrote.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I am not satisfied that your personal and economic circumstances in Pakistan would provide you with incentive to return and your expressed intention only to stay temporarily in Australia is genuine."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The department referenced a phone interview in which she allegedly indicated she had no intention of returning to Pakistan at the end of her Australian visit. Masooma does not speak English, but with the assistance of a translator told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> that was not the case.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I just want to come and see my husband for the last time. For this, I'm just asking for justice," she said. "Once I do it then I have to go back, so that's my wish."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LaTrobe Regional Hospital chief medical officer Simon Fraser confirmed Mr Ali's body remained at the morgue and said the hospital had been in contact with Melbourne's Hazara Shamama Association. "We are hopeful the issues surrounding Mr Ali's collection and burial will be resolved for the sake of his family," Dr Fraser said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokesperson for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection did not comment on the specific case but said such applications were always "carefully considered". A decision-maker was "obliged" to refuse a visa if they could not be satisfied the applicant met all the required criteria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The likelihood of an applicant overstaying or seeking to remain in Australia is a matter that must be assessed," the spokesperson said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last year the body of an Afghan <b>refugee</b>, Qurban Ali, languished in a Melbourne morgue for more than seven months after the immigration department refused his widow's visa application for similar reasons.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The migration agent in that case, Marion Le, said a funeral service was eventually held without Mrs Ali because "the body was really starting to deteriorate". The situation both families found themselves in was "not uncommon", Ms Le said. "It's happening all the time."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asghar Ali lived in the Gippsland town of Moe, where he worked in a restaurant, and was known to have health issues. Masooma described her late husband as a "very good father" who loved his children and supported them by sending money home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"No one can pray for him until he is buried. If you don't do that, he will not rest in peace," she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Salehi Khan, of the Hazara Shamama Association, said it would be expensive and potentially dangerous to take the body to Hazara Town, in Quetta, where Masooma and her three children live.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This acclaimed actor has taken a deeply personal approach to tackling the <b>refugee</b> crisis, writes GARRY MADDOX.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Vanessa Redgrave is crystal clear about what she wants her first film as a director at the venerable age of 80 to achieve. And it is neither box-office success nor awards.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I want it to save lives," the acclaimed actor says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A long-time political activist, Redgrave has been so affected by the <b>refugee</b> crisis in Europe that she has made the documentary Sea Sorrow, with son Carlo Nero producing. It's a personal and poetic call to arms that includes her own family's history as "refugees in our own country" during World War II.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a three-year-old in London, Redgrave remembers hearing the blaring of an air raid siren then being evacuated to a relative's home in Herefordshire when Nazi bombs began hitting the city in 1940.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I was a child in the war and people needed protection," she says. "We needed protection as children and we needed people who were kind to us.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My producer encouraged me to tell my personal narrative because it would help people see that what has happened to me is happening to so many people - younger, older, babies, you name it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"These are doctors, these are engineers. These aren't 'them'. They're 'us'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over a dazzling stage and screen career, Redgrave has won an Oscar - for Julia in 1978 - from six nominations, two Emmys and a shelf full of Golden Globe, Tony and Olivier awards. Her films include A Man for All Seasons, Blow Up, Camelot, Isadora, The Bostonians, Howards End, Mission: Impossible, Atonement and, more recently, The Butler and Foxcatcher.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A member of the famous Redgrave acting family - daughter of Michael and Rachel, sister of Lynn and Corin, mother of Joely and Natasha Richardson and mother-in-law of Liam Neeson - she has long been outspoken on human rights issues including the plight of the Palestinians and her opposition to how governments have handled "the war on terrorism".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The spark for Sea Sorrow was that shocking image of a Syrian boy lying dead on a Turkish beach in 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The terrible wars that are producing the refugees have been going on for a hell of a long time but there's always a catalyst that finally says you've got to do something more," Redgrave says. "I saw the picture that a Turkish photographer took of Alan Kurdi, a Kurdish baby boy, who drowned along with his sister and his mother coming from Kobani, a town which had been under seige from ISIL, ISIS, Daesh or whatever you want to call them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They tried to get protection and cross the seas about two miles wide. According to the law, they should have been given free transport on the ferry to cross to Kos but they weren't. No refugees are given the kind of help they ought to get. That's why so many are dying."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Part of the shock was that the boy was just three years old when he needlessly died after a small <b>boat</b> carrying 16 people capsized.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It was such a narrow crossing," she says. "And, worst of all, it's a commercial crossing. They should have been given free tickets to get the little commercial ferry to the Greek islands."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Redgrave decided a documentary was the best medium for a cry from the heart.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Film can communicate in a unique way," she says. "There are some people who care but there are some people who don't care, who've got hardened. And there are some people who are just hard.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"So we felt we should make a film and we spent every penny we've got to do it."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sea Sorrow features Ralph Fiennes reciting a passage from Shakespeare's The Tempest that powerfully echoes the plight of modern refugees. He talks about being hurried aboard "a rotten carcass" of a <b>boat</b> so poor "the very rats instinctively had quit it" and sent out to sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Redgrave also visits the infamous "Jungle" <b>refugee</b> camp at Calais, reeling away after peering inside a shabby tent that is home to a family of four.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Disasters are happening to refugees in the deserts and, above all, in the seas - the Adriatic and the Mediterranean - because of [government] policies," she says. "People are dying who shouldn't be dying and who have a right to live and a right to protection."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Redgrave almost simmers about the slow government response to the crisis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The European governments including my own are very, very slow," she says. "In fact, we have to take them to court to make them do what the law says they must do."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Redgrave knows Australia has been struggling to deal with the <b>refugee</b> issue, too.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I consider myself a citizen of the world," she says. "Of course I'm not, I'm a British citizen. But I was a child in the world war and I saw everywhere as the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Culturally I was brought up to want to know what's happening in the world and to follow the news and to read international writers and to want to know what foreign companies are doing in the theatre and new films that are being made. I didn't have that very restricted view of 'oh, I only care about what's happening in my little backyard' sort of thing."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Redgrave wants Sea Sorrow to have an impact on governments around the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"As [former British Labor MP] Alf Dubs is always saying, governments listen to public opinion," she says. "If governments realise that public opinion is very, very, very keen on a course of action, they will usually follow it and do a U-turn.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Governments don't seem to have much education, much culture, much awareness of their own people anywhere. I don't understand what happens, why they don't understand more or care more. They have such limited vision when the stakes affect everybody.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But we will influence many people, I know. It's not difficult. What's going to happen to us when it's our turn if we don't help anybody?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Redgrave does not hold back on how the Brexit vote has influenced Europe's ability to deal with the crisis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Brexit is a catastrophe," she says. "An absolute catastrophe. It was a very narrow majority that voted to leave Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But they weren't told the truth. And nobody - in government and so on, and the opposition parties - told them really what was going to happen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I don't see why this has got to be a forever situation. But this is the world we're in. We must look to our neighbours and care about them."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Redgrave says with a laugh that she found directing for the first and last time difficult.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But I had good advice. I had a good producer, my son, a good editor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We worked [with people] who were terrifically helpful. Everybody gave themselves to it, either asking for a very low fee or doing it for nothing, including Ralph Fiennes and Emma Thompson and some of the other actors."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The veteran actor is looking forward to travelling to Australia to launch Sea Sorrow at the Sydney Film Festival.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My grandfather died in Australia, aged 51," she says. "He was an actor. He came out to seek his fortune and he spent it on drink."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Needless to say, Redgrave is putting her energies to something much more productive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sea Sorrow screens at the Sydney Film Festival on June 17 and 18.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A week after ASIO chief Duncan Lewis denied a connection between the <b>refugee</b> intake and an increased terror risk, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton confirmed that “close to 30 people” seeking entry through the one-off resettlement of 12,000 Syrian refugees had been disqualified on security grounds.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We had national security concerns about them,” Mr Dutton said. “We do rigorous tests.” The Australian can also reveal that more than 60 <b>asylum</b>-seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> under the former Labor government were issued with adverse security assessments by ASIO, including a large number of Sri Lankan Tamils deemed members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elan — a proscribed terrorist group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Defending the personal integrity of Mr Lewis amid fierce criticism from Coalition MPs, led by Tony Abbott who appointed the spy boss in 2014, Mr Dutton described him as a “good (and) decent man” who had the “best interests of our country at heart”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said Mr Lewis had since modified his initial comments made in a Senate estimates exchange with One Nation leader Pauline Hanson last week, but stopped short of endorsing his statement there was no link between refugees and terrorism, “If people want to criticise this government in relation to the <b>refugee</b> program, criticise me. I’m the person in charge of this portfolio,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The point Mr Lewis was making ... and I’ve made on a number of occasions, is that we do have problems where people are indoctrinated online, where they have an impressionable young mind. They can be of any background, they can come to this country on any visa.” Clarifying his initial comments, Mr Lewis told the ABC on Wednesday that “radical Sunni Islam” was the root cause of the homegrown terror threat and not the <b>refugee</b> intake, winning the backing of AFP Commissioner Andrew Colvin, who said it was too simplistic to draw a “cause-and-effect position on two issues: migration and terrorism”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull yesterday condemned the “evil scourge of Islamist terrorism” following the explosion that ripped through central Kabul, less than a kilometre from the Australian embassy, and which killed at least 90 people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister cited the terrorist attack in Manchester, the suicide bombings in Jakarta, the Islamic State insurgency in the southern Philippines and the slaughter of Coptic Christians in Egypt as evidence of Islamist terrorism’s “murderous campaign against civilians around the world”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The first priority of my government is to keep Australians safe,” he said. “Anyone with the intent to do us harm at home will be identified, monitored, disrupted, arrested and face the full extent of the law.” According to ASIO figures, 65 boatpeople who came when Labor was in power were initially deemed a security threat — most before 2012 when the people-smuggling trade was at its hottest.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ASIO also acknowledged “a very small number’’ of Syrian <b>refugee</b> applicants considered as part of the 12,000 one-off humanitarian intake announced by Mr Abbott when he was prime minister had also failed the security test.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian understands that some of the 30 people disqualified from the Syrian caseload were picked up through the Five Eyes intelligence network — a security arrangement between Australia, the US, Britain, Canada and New Zealand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ASIO has in the past been vocal about the heavy burden on resources that came with <b>refugee</b> vetting. During 2009, about 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers arrived by <b>boat</b>, an unprecedented wave of unauthorised migration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most came from Afghanistan, Iran and Sri Lanka. A significant number of those declined by ASIO were Sri Lankan Tamils, whom ASIO deemed as members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elan, or LTTE.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Scott Morrison and other senior government MPs closed ranks around Mr Lewis yesterday, with the Treasurer saying it was “a fact” the biggest homegrown terrorist threat was posed by second-generation Australians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Morrison said confining the terrorist threat to “just one area” would be to “misunderstand the broader problem” and added: “I suspect that is what the head of ASIO is trying to say.” Deputy Prime Minister and Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce downplayed the link between refugees and terrorism, telling Sky News it was a false correlation. “That’s like saying they’re all blokes — so do you think there’s a link between testicles and terrorism?” he said. “There are a lot of people in this nation who are refugees (and) 99.99 per cent of people who are refugees are not terrorists.”Earlier, he had said: “In every religion, in every culture you get a corner of evil people, a corner of ratbags who have taken it upon themselves to murder other people.”</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Faceless umpires defy Minister Dutton and so foreign criminals litter our streets</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has received a stern ticking off from the <span class="companylink">Law Council of Australia</span> for undermining public confidence in <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span>. Yet the tribunal has been busily undermining itself with a series of soft-headed judgments that defy common sense.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Consider the case of the Iranian who arrived by <b>boat</b> in 2011 and was given a protection visa on the grounds he faced execution at home. When he returned safe and sound to Australia after his third trip back to Iran, Dutton decided the jig was up and ordered his deportation. Yet the tribunal stayed the minister’s hand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After all, he’s only a minister in a popularly elected government acting on the advice of his department. The tribunal’s members, apparently, have been chosen for their penetrative wisdom, incorruptible judgment and unwavering impartiality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We’re indebted to Keith Moor at the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun for casting a light on the track record of the faceless turkeys who overturned 39 per cent of the 11,323 ministerial visa decisions reviewed between March last year and last month.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among the dubious characters who — thanks to the AAT — still call Australia home is an Indian taxi driver on a bridging visa who was found guilty of putting his hand up the dress of a drunk ­female passenger, touching and kissing her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">AAT adjudicator Miriam Holmes overturned a deportation order, saying cancellation of his visa would adversely affect his ability to manage his psychological condition with his treating psychologist while his wife would suffer emotional hardship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then there’s Calabrian mafia boss Francesco Madafferi, with a history of violence and extortion. He overstayed a tourist visa and would have been jailed if sent back to Italy. His deportation order was overruled in 2000 by tribunal member Alan Blow QC on the grounds it would have an adverse impact on his children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Their mother would be saddened … probably for a very long time,” he said. Madafferi subsequently was sentenced to 10 years in jail for his part in the importation of 15 million ecstasy pills.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To describe these decisions as “infuriating”, as Dutton did last week, is an understatement. But like any good union boss, Law Council president Fiona McLeod SC hit back on behalf of her ­members.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Any suggestion by government that Australian jurists are not acting with independence is dangerous and erosive to our justice system, and lies outside Australia’s democratic tradition,” McLeod said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anti-democratic? There’s a good one. An administrative judi­cial body, staffed by bureaucrats on six-figure salaries, is apparently a better guardian of democracy than a minister of the crown.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It will surprise no one to learn that the AAT was a creation of the Whitlam administration, driven by the brutalist zeal to “modernise” government. Like the barefaced concrete buildings of the time, it has proven expensive to maintain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was established with bipartisan support in 1975 with a modest budget of $300,000, about $2 million in today’s money. Today it has a budget of $135m, having absorbed the former Migration Review Tribunal, <b>Refugee</b> Review Tribunal, and Social Security Appeals Tribunal under the past Labor government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Its original purpose — to afford the individual protection against the whims of bureaucrats — has long since been lost in the legalistic, slow-moving process of dealing with tens of thousands of complaints. Inevitably it has become a bureaucratic behemoth of its own, all the more dangerous for its judicial powers exercised without adherence to the usual rules of evidence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the minister thinks an AAT decision is wrong in law he can lodge an application for a ­judicial review with the Federal Circuit Court. More legal expense, more delay, more false hope for the immigrant and the even slower exercise of justice. Who can blame the minister if, in most cases, he decides the prudent course of action is to walk away?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In theory the AAT must confine its considerations to errors and injustice in administrative matters; it has no jurisdiction on the merits of the case. In reality, however, the distinction is difficult to make. Unlike equivalent administrative laws in the US, there is no doctrine prohibiting the judicial review of political questions. In practice it is open slather, with AAT members bringing to the table whatever prejudices to which they may be prone and using them to overturn the considered judgment of the minister or his delegate informed by the knowledge and experience of the department.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is unclear which administrative error AAT member John Hand­ley thought he was remedying when he blocked the deportation of Carl Stafford to New Zealand in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Stafford had 365 convictions to his name, including one for slashing the face of a stranger with a knife on a Melbourne tram. Hand­ley acknowledged that Stafford’s crimes were serious and could not rule out the possibility that Stafford might continue to offend if allowed to remain in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Stafford had mental health and drug problems, he said. His mother was a hooker. Society was to blame.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Australian community should bear some responsibility for the absence of intervention,” he said. “Had the applicant at an early age had access to appropriately qualified case managers and/or counsellors … he may well have been able to exercise a degree of restraint from impulsivity and offending.” Two years after the decision allowing him to stay, Stafford broke into a St Kilda home where he savagely raped and brutalised a woman for 45 minutes.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I have absolutely no evidence to suggest there is a connection between refugees and terrorism,” Duncan Lewis told a Senate committee.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has to be kidding. Just a day after the NSW coroner pronounced the Lindt cafe siege a terrorist attack, committed by (fake) Iranian <b>refugee</b> Man Monis, Lewis can’t be ignorant of the connection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His deceptive attitude ­undermines faith in the government to keep us safe in the wake of yet another terrorist attack on innocents in Manchester, committed by the son of Libyan refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fact is that refugees, fake or not, and their offspring are significantly represented in terrorism attacks and foiled plots in this country, Europe and the US.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whether they were fake refugees or genuine is immaterial, since Labor allowed our hum-anitarian program to be overwhelmed by 50,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers who came by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We are still dealing with fake refugees who are sucking up welfare benefits and refusing to go home, despite the best efforts of Immigration Minister Peter Dutton.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Three fatal attacks on Australian soil in the past three years were committed by first- or second-generation refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Islamic State fan Numan Haider, 18, who stabbed two police officers in Melbourne in 2014, was an Afghan <b>refugee</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Farhad Jabar, 15, who murdered police accountant Curtis Cheng in Parramatta in 2015, was an Iranian <b>refugee</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two of the men convicted over the Holsworthy Barracks terror plot in 2009, Saney Aweys and Nayef El Sayed, were refugees whom Justice Betty King described as “unrepentant radical Muslims”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The fact that Australia welcomed all of you, and nurtured you and your families, is something that should cause you all to hang your heads in shame that this was the way you planned to show your thanks,” she said. Two alleged co-conspirators Abdirahman Ahmed and Yacqub Khayre, found not guilty, came to Australia as child refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The most senior Australian in Islamic State, Mohammad Ali Baryalei, 35, accused of conspiring to kidnap and ­behead a random Australian, is an Afghan <b>refugee</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I could go on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton last year made the point that two-thirds of those charged with terrorism-related ­offences in Australia are “from second and third-generation Lebanese Muslim backgrounds”, men like the charming head-chopper Khaled Sharrouf, whose parents were brought in as “refugees” under Malcolm Fraser’s disastrous 1976 Lebanese Concession.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No one, not even Hanson, thinks all refugees are terrorists. Quite the opposite. A good percentage, though not enough, of Syrian refugees are Christians escaping Islamist terrorism and ought to be ­enthusiastically welcomed, not just because they are likely to integrate into our Judeo-Christian society, but because they are an antidote to creeping Islamism, primed to spot the warning signs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hanson’s expressions of concern were as much for them as for native-born Australians. Yet when she asked Lewis to confirm that four terrorist attacks and 12 foiled plots in Australia were “committed by Muslims”, she was met with a contemptuous response unworthy of his office.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hanson may have some crackpot policies but she is the representative of the people, whose servant he is, and who pay him generously — $630,000 last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“ASIO does not make its ­inquiries or its assessments on the basis of somebody’s reli-gion,” he replied. “Of the 12 thwarted (terrorist) attacks, one of those indeed involved a right-wing extremist ... so the answer is, no, they have not all been carried out by Muslims.” Why highlight the non-Muslim exception? The ­answer is 11 of 12 terrorist plots were Islamic, yet here is Lewis pandering to the left-wing myth that “right-wing extremism” is as dangerous.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hanson asked if he knew that in Canada “increased numbers of children born to refugees are converting to radical Islam (and) is that happening here?” “I’m not familiar with the Canadian experience” he said icily. “And I see no evidence of it here, Senator.“ Lewis was the model of an urbane public servant disdainful of the bogans Hanson represents. But her questions were reasonable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Danish studies show second-generation Muslim mig-rants are twice as likely as their parents to be radicalised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If ASIO is not aware of the phenomenon, it is negligent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We are at war against an ­expansionist Islamic fascism. It is an ideology as threatening as was Communism or Fascism, and yet our authorities kowtow to politically correct claims of Islamophobia, are flatfooted when it comes to “welfare jihad” and slow to crack down on creeping sharia. We can’t do much about terrorists and their sympathisers already here, other than keeping them under expensive and fallible surveillance, but we can prevent more arriving.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That means we should follow the Trump lead and suspend migration from risky countries to ensure we are not importing terror.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We should forget about extraditing home-grown ISIS operatives such as Neil Prakash from Turkey for a show trial in Australia that will just inspire more young jihadists. There is a diplomatic measure available called “Don’t pick up the phone”. Let Prakash and pals rot in a Turkish jail.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s the least they deserve.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We should confine our Syrian/Iraq <b>refugee</b> intake to Christians and Yazidis, since they have nowhere else to go. Muslims can find sanctuary in Sunni or Shia countries.As for the children of foreign fighters such as Sharrouf, who have been trained as barbarous little Islamists, pity them, but they have no home here. We could spend millions on deradicalisation attempts for them to repay our kindness in coming years by killing our children. Stuff political correctness. The government’s No. 1 job is to keep its citizens safe. And it should start by pulling the ASIO boss into line.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The centre was developed by David Spitteler.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THERE was a troubling twist in the fake <b>refugee</b> controversy this week. Out of the blue we learned that murderers, rapists, pedophiles, armed robbers and ice dealers were among the scores of criminals who should have been booted out of the country but were allowed to stay.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They were saved from deportation by <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span>. The tribunal overruled the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Peter Dutton, who attempted to eject 81 foreign-born criminals by revoking their visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All had “substantial criminal records”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most of the cases were in Sydney and Melbourne, but some were in Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s an affront to law-abiding Australians. We are at the mercy of hardened criminals who do not deserve the privilege of living in this grand land.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Foreigners charged with terrible acts of violence and nasty, nasty sex crimes were among 76 men and five women subject to the deportation attempts that were blocked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The tribunal, to my mind, has usurped the proper functions of the democratically elected government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Immigration Minister alone must be able to decide who comes and who stays, based on expert advice from his department.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">News Corp</span> papers reported those allowed to stay included a Scottish hitman, an Iraqi who knifed to death his brother-in-law, a New Zealand pedophile and an Indian doctor who sexually abused a teenage patient.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most Australians will find the tribunal’s decisions hard to comprehend. I certainly do.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I’m sure the community would prefer to see these miscreants sent packing. Even a hitman from Scotland, who was jailed for 17 years for murdering a Melbourne man for payment of $2000, has the right to retain his Australian visa, the tribunal found.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A Chinese drug trafficker who handled more than $4 million in the proceeds of crime was likewise able to keep his visa – even though he refused to name syndicate co-offenders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A Turkish drug dealer convicted of peddling commercial quantities of heroin, ice, ecstasy and cannabis, was allowed to remain in Australia after the tribunal quashed a decision to deport him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All 81 decisions by tribunal members to overturn ministerial directives to revoke visas have been made since 2010, including 60 in the past five years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last week Dutton suggested a political bias was operating within sections of the tribunal, particularly tribunal members who had been appointed during the Gillard and Rudd Labor administrations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When you look at some of the judgments that are made, the sentences that are handed down, it’s always interesting to go back and look at the appointment of the particular Labor government of the day,” Dutton said on radio 4BC. “It’s the frustration we live with.” Dutton fears the tribunal is political or ideological or both. We have already been told that half of the illegal <b>boat</b> people the Coalition Government tried to kick out of Australia were saved when the tribunal overturned deportation decisions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s despite the Immigration Department finding the 20 fake <b>asylum</b> seekers lied on their visa applications by saying they were at risk of being killed or persecuted if they returned to their own countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The controversy flared after the tribunal supported a fake <b>refugee</b> who claimed he was at real risk of being executed in Iran – only to return there for holidays.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another 7500 fake refugees who refuse to provide Australian Immigration officials with their personal histories also face deportation. Good.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet in <span class="companylink">Parliament</span> this week the Greens’ Adam Bandt accused Dutton of “beating up on a group of vulnerable people”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton hit back magnificently. He reminded Bandt he was part of the Labor-Greens alliance that dismantled John Howard’s border protection policies with tragic results.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No fewer than 50,000 people arrived on 800 boats and 1,200 of then drowned at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“So I am not going to take a morals lecture from a member of the House who was involved in a government that saw people drown at sea and saw complete chaos, including 8,000 children in detention,” said Dutton.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then Dutton revealed the staggering cost of cleaning up Labor’s mess processing these queue jumpers who are politely referred to as uninvited non-citizens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I don’t think Australians have a clue at the cost of Labor’s <b>asylum</b> seeker blunder.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Said Dutton: “It has cost us as taxpayers $13.7 billion since 2007-08, and it costs us $1.9 billion a year as a country to provide services to the legacy caseload.” Nevertheless Dutton said Australia was happy to welcome refugees who had been properly vetted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He told the House the Australian Government has committed to increase the size of the humanitarian program from 13,750 places to 16,250 places in 2017-18, and 18,750 places in 2018-19 and thereafter. That is a record to be proud of.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 13,000 are still having their claims assessed, with the remainde­r — who Mr Dutton has labelled “fake refugees” — set the October 1 deadline to get their protecti­on applications in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many Iranians have been living and working in the Australian community since the beginning of the decade and have children at school or university. Those involved­ in providing them with legal and migration services suggested a very small number would agree to abandon their dream of permanent settlement here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ahmad Ghaffari, a Melbourne lawyer and migration agent, said: “I’ve not seen even one person who would tell me about their intentio­n to voluntarily depart Australia if their application for protection visa is refused.” He said many had established productive lives in the Australian community. “Their children have gone to school here and English is their dominant language. They have embraced Australian ­cul­ture.” The president of the Australian Iranian Community Organisation, Siamak Ghahreman, encour­ag­ed Iranians to seek help from lawyers or other community groups if they were struggling to fill out their applications on time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The <b>asylum</b>-seekers who have not done this yet — it’s not that they don’t want to do it. It’s because there are limited resources for them,” Mr Ghahreman said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The view of the government, unfortunately, towards these people­ (is) they look at them like criminals.” Mr Ghahreman also suggested that some failed Iranian refugees might try to “hide themselves from the authorities” if they were denied­ their protection claims because­ of Iran’s policy not to accept­ forced returns.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lewis Stephens, a migration agent who previously reviewed Department of Immigration and Border Protection decisions for the Independent Protection Assess­ment Office, suggested the gov­er­nment lacked options to remove­ Iranians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Dutton will not speak softly and carry a big stick, he will do the opposite,” he said. “I think ultimately they will find a way in which these people are assimilated into the community and the issue will be put to one side.” In 2014 the High Court cur­taile­d indefinite detention, meaning Iranians who don’t go back home can be held for a limited period only, if there is no prospect of their removal from Australia.A departmental spokeswoman said “if an individual with no lawful basis to remain does not depar­t voluntarily they will be subject to immigration detention as a last resor­t. Families may be detained in an alternative place of detention”.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Changing the citizenship status of one Australian changes it for all of us</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Aboriginal leaders gathered in Uluru are almost certain to make a bad mistake this week. In trying to work out what sort of proposal for constitutional recognition should be put forward, they will almost certainly move towards pro­visions with no chance of success at a referendum.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is why, for practical purposes, constitutional recognition appears doomed for the moment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, we should recognise that any constitutional recognition would be extremely bad in principle because it would create two classes of citizen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many members of the government are deeply uneasy about any race-based change to our Constitution. They are for the moment taking a coward’s refuge in the likely outcome that nothing now on the agenda can pass.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, the failure of liberal and conservative Liberals and Nationals to make the case in principle against creating two classes of Australians in the Constitution is representative of the broader failure of the Liberal Party at almost all intellectual and cultural contention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The concrete proposal for constitutional recognition for Aborigines originated with John Howard. He included a statement of recognition in the preamble to the Constitution he submitted with the republic referendum in 1999. It went down to screaming defeat across Australia, so we have already voted once on recognition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then, just before the 2007 election, Howard promised to create a process that could lead to constitutional recognition. He had in mind some anodyne statement about how much we love Abori­gines. More than a decade of government-funded activism has now resulted in most of the officially recognised Aboriginal leadership wanting much bigger constitutional changes, ranging from a treaty between the Australian nation and the Aboriginal nation, through to compensation for dispossession and much more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is all madness. The whole thrust of liberalism in the 20th century was to abolish all civic distinctions arising out of race, culture or inheritance. Your father may have been a beast, but you start with a clean slate. Your father may have been a prince, but you must establish your own character through your actions. Neither virtue nor vice, or any kind of civic distinction, goes to one citizen over another on the basis of race.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If you are a Sri Lankan <b>refugee</b> who arrived in a <b>boat</b> and got your citizenship yesterday, you are just as good a citizen as me or as any other Australian.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is not a question of being pro or anti-Aborigine. I am proud of Australia’s Aboriginal culture and grateful to those Aborigines who have become my friends or friendly acquaintances. I want only success and advancement for Aborigines. And if some of them have special needs and have suffered special hardships, I strongly support the government using its resources to help.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the Constitution belongs to all Australians. If the state changes the citizenship status of one group of Australians, it, by definition, changes the citizenship status of all Australians. In principle and in practice, this is a recipe for conflict and disaster.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nothing is more toxic in Western political culture today than identity politics, the idea that it is not your own choices that make you but some innate or inherited characteristic. Within this powerfully destructive paradigm there is an overwhelming incentive to create, celebrate and, above all, preserve grievance. This can give moral superiority to the person identified as a victim and to the person affording them victim status. Because the grievance arises out of identity, it can never be adequately addressed. Conflict and complaint go forever.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A chief site of identity politics in Australia is the desire to change Aborigines’ constitutional status and to make demands that are impossible to fulfil — and that, even if fulfilled, would lead only to further demands.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is destructive, divisive and immensely dangerous for a multi-ethnic society such as Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Its only beneficial result has been that the preoccupation with identity politics around Abori­gines has taken the attention of the identity industry away from regular migrants. Thirty or 40 years ago, the much less developed identity industry tried to make us see all migrants as victims, which is nuts. Regular migration to Australia has been such a success over the past couple of decades partly ­because there are only so many entrepreneurs of victimhood around at any one moment, and they have all been busy elsewhere.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even today I don’t see how the identity industry can reconcile the story that we are all defined by our ancestry with a call for Chinese or Indian immigrants to apologise to Aborigines on behalf of the mistreatment by our ancestors of the ancestors of Aborigines. Of course, nobody is responsible for the misbehaviour of someone else’s ancestors. But here’s the rub. Nobody is actually responsible for the misbehaviour of their own ancestors. Racial guilt, inherited guilt — these are ideas liberal political culture, when it was sane, had consigned to the dustbin of history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I object to the taxpayer-funded television advertisements that argue the case for constitutional change. This is the wrongful use of taxpayers’ money to mobilise support for, and intimidate opposition to, one particular political proposal. It is perfectly respectable to oppose constitutional change. The government has no business funding either side of such a political ­argument outside a formal referendum, in which circumstance it must fund both sides.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Liberals are crazy to fund these ads. The next Labor government will surely run government ads for a wide range of ideological causes that it will dress up as being above politics, and the Liberals will have no moral credibility to object.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Liberal failure on this process is much broader than that. I admire Alan Tudge, a good politician who is a big part of the Liberals’ future. But when he was parliamentary secretary for Aboriginal affairs, I had a bizarre encounter with him on Sky News. For 15 minutes or more I unsuccessfully tried every way I could to get him to say whether he was in principle in favour of or opposed to a treaty for Aborigines: not whether he thought it would pass in a referendum but whether it was right or wrong.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Presumably his reticence was born of a worry that he might lose credibility with some Aboriginal leaders if he opposed a treaty in principle. But this profoundly misguided squeamishness on the Liberals’ part is actually demeaning to Aborigines. It’s a refusal to treat them as grown-ups. And it has directly contributed to the wildly inflated, unrealistic, divisive and ultimately terribly destructive momentum towards unrealistic and ethically wrong demands we will see in Uluru this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Liberals have shown themselves to be hopeless at the politics of ideas and culture. Not only are they bad at arguing ideas themselves, in government they have created no institutions of consequence and reformed none.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor does just exactly this, systematically and coherently. Peace centres, climate institutes, trade union training authorities — all manner of culture-forming institutions are born and expand under Labor governments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Liberals do nothing. They appoint an ABC chairman who believes there is no problem of bias at the ABC, a chief scientist who supports an emissions trading scheme, <span class="companylink">Australian Human Rights Commission</span> members who offer no challenge to the zeitgeist.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government’s one attempt to create a new institute — a climate research body to be headed by Bjorn Lomborg — was abandoned in cowardice at the first whiff of grapeshot.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And now Education Minister Simon Birmingham, sounding like an Australian Teachers Federation official from the early 1970s, is aligned with the green-left activists of The Age to demonise the Catholic education authorities. Oy vey!Personal ambition and the ability to administer patronage are not enough for a political party. You’ve got to care about something enough to fight for it. Constitutional principles would not be a bad place to start.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Donald Trump has turned himself into a lame-dog president; for the time being at least, the United States is of no use to Australia or anyone else. The internal battles to unseat the usurper will occupy Washington politics for the next two years. And the US economy will continue to lag.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the meantime, China will push to enhance what it regards as its natural sphere of influence: the South China Sea. But its ambitions extend further. It wants to dominate world trade and greater influence over international affairs. It is playing its cards carefully, but playing them nonetheless, particularly in Africa, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In view of China's restless ambition, and American distraction, Australia ought to take the <span class="companylink">Association of South-East Asian Nations</span> more seriously.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has sought to play off China and the US. He has partly succeeded. He has held the US but not entirely China, which pushed back. Nonetheless, China has promised aid for infrastructure, soft loans and fishing concessions. Chinese investment in the Philippines is burgeoning, particularly in the property sector; US investment is stagnant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Duterte hosted and chaired the 30th ASEAN summit in Manila last month, the theme of which was a rules-based, people-oriented and centred ASEAN. In the chairman's statement, ASEAN leaders reaffirmed their commitment to peaceful settlement of disputes and "full respect for legal and diplomatic processes", including respect for international laws. However, apparently after pressure from China, the chairman dropped the affirmation of respect from the section on the South China Sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Existing guidelines for hotline communication were endorsed while a "code for unplanned encounters at sea" will soon become operational.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The activities of Islamic extremists remain a problem within ASEAN, in particular Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Weeks before ASEAN ministers were due to meet in Panglao on the island of Bohol, <span class="companylink">Abu Sayyaf</span> militants attacked local police. To safeguard ministers, delegates and officials, the Philippines deployed 26,000 police and soldiers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is this security issue, together with tackling issues associated with poverty, that should be exercising the minds of Australian policymakers. Several months ago, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said returning Islamic State fighters from the Middle East, perhaps up to 600, would try to strengthen the militant Islamic presence in southern Philippines and, as part of the process, establish a "caliphate". The leader of Filipino terror group <span class="companylink">Abu Sayyaf</span> recently declared himself an emir.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These militants will not enter the Philippines through airports. They will travel to the southern Philippine island of Mindanao by <b>boat</b> from Malaysia or Indonesia. Indonesia's immigration spokesman, Agung Sampurno, said recently that checkpoints at Miangas and Marore Island were unable to effectively screen seaborne movements between Sulawesi and Mindanao.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bishop is right to be concerned and Australia's intelligence agencies have been working with their counterparts in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines to address the threat. However, more is required. Border protection is more than bullying and terrorising <b>asylum</b> seekers. The best way for Australia to protect its border is through regional co-operation and that should be done through joint naval patrols. Australia has taken part in such arrangements in the Gulf.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At present, Australia deploys vessels in the region for a variety of tasks, including naval exercises and showing the flag.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some express squeamishness at the prospect of co-operating with Duterte in light of his poor human rights record. Any such relationship might not last long. He is said to have pancreatic cancer and, in light of that, to be grooming his daughter to succeed him. She is mayor of Davao City, Duturte's old powerbase.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To be even-handed, that squeamishness might extend to Malaysia and its corrupt political system, and to Indonesia as it buckles to Islamic extremism. As flawed as some of our neighbours may be, that should not override our national self-interest, nor allow us to overlook our own poor human rights record with respect to <b>asylum</b> seekers and corruption in our own institutions. I propose a permanent Australian patrolling presence in the region, undertaken with the Indonesian, Malaysian, Filipino and Singaporean navies and rotating the home ports among those countries. Greater and more aggressive naval patrols should aim to deter the flow of arms and fighters between the targeted countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By engaging in regional maritime security, Australia would also signal a broader and deeper interest in the region, no bad thing in the absence of US leadership.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">MOST of us have seen it first hand: the family barbecue or out for dinner, and the two political topics that divide the group are boats and budgets, or, to be more specific, how the government manages Australia’s immigration program and how they manage our money.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Other issues may come and go, but as far as a political ­barometer is concerned, this ­double-headed test is still the best. If you’re prepared to risk a split in the friendship or even the family, give it a go.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To be fair, Malcolm Turnbull’s recent Labor-lite Budget might skew things a bit, but as long as Peter Dutton’s in charge, the Coalition’s immigration policies won’t lurch to the left any time soon.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When it comes to immigration, you can’t trust Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As he continues to lift in the polls, Bill Shorten’s going to start promising he won’t restart the boats, but being soft on immigration is in Labor’s DNA. Go back to John Howard’s time and you’ll find that Labor opposed almost every sensible measure to curtail ­illegal arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Kevin from Queensland got in and thought he could get away with dismantling the ­Coalition’s tough border protection policies to win friends in inner-city latte land, but the people-smugglers had other ideas. Almost immediately their trade started up again and as I watched them from opposition, Labor was utterly powerless to stop it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Rudd-Gillard-Rudd ­record of chaos must not be forgotten: 800 boats, 50,000 ­illegal arrivals, 17 new detention centres, 8000 children in detention and 1200 deaths at sea (that we know about).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“That was then, this is now,” Bill Shorten will say.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Don’t be fooled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some of you might look at Chris Bowen and see a man trying hard to be a credible shadow treasurer, but I see the man whose record as immigration minister should disqualify him from any future office. Under Julia Gillard, 398 boats and 24,447 people ­arrived on Bowen’s watch; the worst record of any immigration minister in Australian history. Hapless, reckless and completely inept, is it any wonder people are worried what he would do to the economy if this was his previous ministerial effort?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent days we’ve seen the example of six Iranians who came by <b>boat</b> under Labor granted <b>asylum</b> to stay because they claimed their lives would be in danger if forced to return, yet return they did, for a holiday. When Peter Dutton cancelled their visas and tried to deport them for lying about their so-called <b>refugee</b> status, <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span> overturned his decision and allowed them to stay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sadly, this isn’t an isolated case, with the AAT overturning 39 per cent of the minister’s ­decisions on visas and deportations over the past year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a result of the chaos left by former ministers such as Chris Bowen (and his successors Brendan O’Connor and Tony Burke, both also on Shorten’s frontbench), the ­Coalition is spending tens of millions of (borrowed) dollars fighting ­ridiculous court cases like this despite being up to our eyeballs in debt.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it isn’t just the debt, it is the principle too.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We’re a generous nation and one of only 27 in the world that actually resettles refugees (yes, that’s right, more than 160 other countries refuse), however it’s clear we’re being taken for a ride. Those really needing our help, waiting patiently in a camp often for a decade or more, are displaced by economic migrants with cash and a good story who lie their way through the system until they’re caught by people like Dutton, and even then the ­system gives them a second chance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sadly, there’s no second chance for the child in the camp, the persecuted Christian or the gay man thrown off a building by Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On this issue, like so many, the hypocrisy of the left is breathtaking. Australia cannot take all the world’s refugees but we do our bit and we do it better than almost any country in the world. But this tripe that anyone who wants to come here can just turn up and we should have to take them ­beggars belief. This mindset is one of the reasons Europe is such a basket-case.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Because we grant refugees almost immediate access to Australia’s taxpayer-funded school system, Medicare and <span class="companylink">Centrelink</span>, governments must regulate the quantum of our immigration intake so we can keep paying for the services that most of us (sadly) take for granted. In the end — like everything — it’s all got to be paid for or we won’t be able to afford it in the future.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s immigration failures have cost the taxpayer just shy of $14 billion ($13.7 billion to be exact) and there’s a legacy caseload of more than 30,000 people that Dutton’s still sorting through. While Labor says “elect us, it won’t happen again”, let’s take a look at the facts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At last year’s election, more than 40 Labor MPs and candidates were on the record at one time or another opposing the Coalition’s policies to stop the boats. Right now, Labor is blocking legislation designed to prevent an illegal maritime arrival sent to a regional processing centre from getting to Australia. Shorten tells us he has the same border protection policies as the government, but his troops won’t vote for them in the parliament. Surely this just shows that while Shorten leads Labor, it’s the far left who are actually in charge?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The uncomfortable truth is that to have a fair immigration system we have to be tough. There’s no shortage of people around the world who want a better economic outcome and while we can all understand that, aspiration alone isn’t what defines a genuine <b>refugee</b>. A “well-founded fear of persecution” is the test and those who lie, who holiday back in their old homeland, or rort the system, displace those in real need of a place.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull never had his heart in this issue last time as Liberal leader (or indeed when in Abbott’s cabinet) but we should all be grateful Dutton does. And while Shorten might say the right thing now, we know his people have other ideas should they get elected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This issue is important. As someone who worked for the prime minister who stopped the boats last time, if they start up again, under any government, stopping them will be nigh on impossible.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">SIX years ago, as an Afghan teenager, Yaser Maqsoodi started a six-month journey on foot, and by car and <b>boat</b>, to get to Australia after being taken from his family by the Iranian Government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today, the 21-year-old is a member of a “champion futsal team” and working toward his ultimate goal of being “rich”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Arriving in Australia with very little English, Mr Maqsoodi has been helped by a program called Friday Hangout, which links unaccompanied <b>asylum</b> seekers with Adelaide students. The program, operating out of Rostrevor College, is now teaching both Australian newcomers and the student organisers new lessons in life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Maqsoodi was originally born in Afghanistan but grew up in northern Iran. His father was killed by the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span>, leaving Mr Maqsoodi to fend for his mother and his younger brother and sister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The good thing was being with my family, and people had the same language and same culture, but the challenge was the discrimination against Afghan people,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was difficult as a kid because the Iranian Government do not consider human rights for Afghani people – you can’t drive, you can’t buy a house, you can’t have your own business, you can’t even purchase a SIM card. I was taken away from my family and deported by the Iranian Government because I had no identification.” Mr Maqsoodi said Afghanistan was not safe for him as a Hazara — an ethnic minority who have faced a century of persecution in the country. His family is still in Iran.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They want to come to Australia to be with me,” he said, before pointing out the difficulty in seeking <b>asylum</b> here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Maqsoodi spent six months travelling to Australia – a journey that included a two-month stint on Christmas Island and time in a Perth detention centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Friday Hangout program has allowed Mr Maqsoodi to learn about Australian culture with Australian students and by bonding through sport. Each week the group spends about an hour playing sport and another hour talking about issues of the day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Maqsoodi has joined a local soccer team, Prospect FC, which this year were crowned champions of the SA Futsal League.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the greatest cultural difference between Australia and the Middle East was that “boys or girls turn 18 and move out of home” in Australia. “In Iran and Afghanistan once you grow up you have to look after your mother and father so you cannot move out,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Maqsoodi’s positive outlook has rubbed off on Rostrevor College students Patrick Moller, 17, and George Connolly, 16.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">George said the <b>asylum</b> seekers were grateful for the opportunity to live in Australia. “They take every opportunity they get and give 110 per cent,” George said. “It makes you realise how ungrateful we are about all the opportunities we get — so it was a massive learning curve.” Patrick said: “It makes you think about how lucky you are.” “Everyone you meet is so humble, and they don’t complain about anything,” he said.The next Hangout will be this Friday.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">The Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span> regularly reviews decisions made by Mr Dutton or his delegate to cancel a <b>refugee</b>’s visa, which can then be overturned or referred to higher courts.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said taxpayers were paying “tens of millions of dollars a year in these legal roundabouts”, amid reports Iranian refugees were able to keep their visas after voluntarily returning to their birth country — including for a holiday and wedding — despite claiming they were in danger of persecution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull said those refugees, who came to Australia by <b>boat</b> and whom Mr Dutton had wanted to deport, had “clearly not” made a credible claim for <b>asylum</b> and their cases were being examined.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said he was “frustrated” by some AAT judgments, noting the term of outgoing president Duncan Kerr would not be renewed when it ended this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Justice Kerr is a former Labor MP and Keating government minister appointed to the tribunal by Julia Gillard.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s always interesting to go back and look at the appointment of the particular Labor government of the day,” he told 2GB. “It’s a frustration we live with.” Calling for systemic change, Mr Dutton said in some circumstances he could overrule the AAT but all parties should be bound by a judge’s decision to ­prevent cases going “on and on and on”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He pointed out the government could cancel temporary protection visas once any “threat” was deemed to have passed. “Some of these cases are infuriating,” Mr Dutton told 3AW.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There are many cases that I look at where, on the facts available to me, you shake your head because the other aspect of this is that these people, if they’re not legitimate refugees, are displacing people who have a claim to be made out. People who are being slaughtered in the Middle East now that we would want to give protection to, they’re the ones being displaced by people seeking a better economic outcome.” His criticism of legal processes comes as the Papua New Guinean and Australian governments prepare to close the Manus Island detention centre by October 31, with the decommissioning of parts of the facility to begin within weeks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, he could not say how many of the 2000 people on Manus or Nauru would be eligible to resettle in the US under a deal clinched with the Obama administration and reluctantly accepted by Donald Trump.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b>-seekers on Manus Island not accepted by the US but found to be refugees will be able to live in Papua New Guinea, while about 400 non-refugees will have to return to their country of origin.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">CLEARLY something is awry with Australia’s immigration system when people who are granted visas after lying on their applications can enjoy the protection of this country, but happily travel for holidays to the place from which they said they had fled for their lives, and then return again to the peace of Australia. Then, once their deceptions are eventually discovered, still be allowed to stay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">AsThe Courier-Mail has revealed, this is the absurd case of six Iranian refugees who, despite all the lies and fraud, have been granted ongoing residency here by <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span> against the attempts of the Immigration Minister to oust them following the revelations.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are many levels of concern. The first is how their claims of <b>refugee</b> status were granted when there was clear evidence they were not genuine refugees. The second is how, when they freely travelled back and forth between Australia and Iran, there was no mechanism at our borders that signalled there was something wrong with a person on an Australian protection visa travelling to the place in which they allegedly feared for their life. The third, and perhaps worst, is why, after these people have been shown to have breached almost every condition of entry and settlement, they could possibly have been ruled suitable to stay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our unstable world is seeing more <b>asylum</b> seekers, refugees and displaced people than at any time since the end of World War II.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia has largely managed its immigration policies with a carefully nuanced balance of compassion and pragmatism. We take refugees, roughly 25,000 this year, after careful vetting and with a keen eye on how to maintain the peaceful and sustainable integration of newcomers to society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That has meant some hard decisions. The policy to stop the rickety people smuggling boats resulted in significant outcry but the reality is that those <b>boat</b> trips cost more than 1200 people their lives on dangerous sea journeys at the hands of opportunists who were in reality no more than pirates.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The records of the Australian Parliamentary Library show that, in 2013, there were 20,587 people used and abused by those pirates in the desperate hope of a safe landing in Australia. After tough, co-ordinated measures that tragic number has steadily declined. In the past two years there have been no <b>boat</b> arrivals recorded and that would hopefully mean many lives saved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The same statistics show that, due to diligent vetting, more than 70 per cent of <b>asylum</b> claimants are found to be genuine refugees. We know, based on previous new Australians, that they will work hard, push their children and form a valued part of our society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So when someone has the sheer indecency, the gall, the front, to treat this country’s compassion with contempt, then their right to remain here has to be questioned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of the six Iranians granted Australian protection who then blithely returned to the place they said would kill them: one made three trips back; one was not on a wanted list but simply an economic migrant; two said they had no papers but later travelled on Iranian passports; and two claimed to be stateless but were later busted by a third family member who provided evidence of their Iranian citizenship in a separate application to come here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That may be only six people but it is indicative of two problems. One is contempt on their part. The other is a lack of scrutiny on Australia’s part.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the height of the <b>boat</b> crisis we sailed far too close to losing control of our borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That can be controlled but only if all levels of the immigration system are constantly reviewed and tightened and if agencies such as <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span> act within the guidelines of reasonable public expectations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There must be a thorough examination of how this occurred, an immediate move against it happening again and questions asked of the agenda of the AAT.For a country with a proud record of immigration, diligence on our borders will always be paramount.</p>

Peter Dutton is the latest in a series of immigration ministers, Coalition and Labor, who have presided over one of the most wasteful and misjudged policies in modern Australian history - mandatory offshore detention of <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent times, he has been obfuscating about whether shots were fired by drunken Papua New Guinean soldiers into the detention centre on Manus Island in which the cruel and costly policy of Mr Dutton and his predecessors has harmed some of the world's most needy and vulnerable people. As The Age reported on Tuesday, Mr Dutton was not speaking the truth when he asserted the shots had been fired into the air.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A dour former policeman, he is also presiding over one of the most ridiculously expensive, poorly planned and indulgent bureaucratic splurges of taxpayers' money in modern Australian history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His department is spending a quarter of a billion dollars on a new headquarters, a move believed to be not utterly unrelated to his desire to run a mega homeland-security empire. Imagine how many more important things could have been done with that money - like building schools and hospitals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, it is with little confidence that we contemplate Mr Dutton's stewardship of the imminent closure of the Manus Island centre. That is happening not because Mr Dutton realised how flawed the policy is, but because Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court did; it ruled more than a year ago that the centre is unconstitutional and illegal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite this lengthy notice, hundreds of suffering people will remain - largely unprotected and unwanted - on Manus Island in the hope that the deal for some of them to go to the US will actually proceed, let alone expeditiously.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The cost of holding refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus Island and Nauru, where there is also a hellish detention centre, is about half a million dollars a person each year. It costs less than $15,000 to process a person onshore in the community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is not only a fiscal travesty, it's a moral and legal one - as many as 90 per cent of the relatively small number of <b>asylum</b> seekers who have arrived by <b>boat</b> are found to be genuine refugees. Under international law ratified by Australia, they have a right to seek <b>asylum</b> here and our government has a responsibility to treat them correctly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead, and despite being a nation that has been socially, economically and culturally enriched by immigrants, we have an Immigration Minister who extols "Australian values", whatever that might mean.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There have been leaked reports about huge numbers of cases of child abuse, squalor, self-harm, assaults and mental ill-health in the centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Returning to financial matters, failings are also reflected in a recent scathing report by the people's financial watchdog, the Commonwealth Auditor-General, that uncovered breaches of fundamental rules governing spending. The pattern seems to be repeating with the mooted shift of Immigration Department headquarters; the situation is so opaque that politicians on both sides of Parliament consider it unacceptable.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The visas were cancelled after the Immigration Department ­discovered they voluntarily returned to Iran and later came back to Australia.

This included a trip to get married under Islamic law, an event conducted by the Iranian authorities he was supposedly terrified of.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Khaled Al-Sheikh is back where he started: in economically depressed and sectarian northern Lebanon, from where four years ago he embarked on what he ­imagined would be a dream new life in Australia.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I left my home town because there was no work, no future,” he says. “Then after the Syrian civil war started, problems started ­between some people in the ­Alawite and Sunni communities. They took politics from Syria’s war to Lebanon.” Yet the 24-year-old’s claim for <b>asylum</b> was rejected by Papua New Guinea, and he numbers among a prickly group for Australia — failed <b>asylum</b>-seekers who will neither be accepted by the US under the planned <b>refugee</b> deal or allowed to stay in PNG.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Striving to meet Immigration Minister Peter Dutton’s goal of shuttering the troubled centre by the end of October, Australian ­officials over the past few months have stepped up efforts to dislodge this 224-strong cohort from Manus, wielding the threat of ­deportation in one hand and a chequebook in the other.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In March Khaled accepted $US25,000 ($34,000) from Australia to go home voluntarily, an inducement that <b>refugee</b> advocate Ian Rintoul says has swelled “dramatically” since the PNG ­Supreme Court ruled the centre unconstitutional last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The amounts of money being offered has increased over time to the point where it is an enormous amount of money for people who have been in limbo,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Khaled reckons he will spend part of the money to fund treatment for neck and shoulder injuries he sustained during violence at the centre, and the rest to fund a fresh attempt at migration. Canada beckons.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’m back in the same situation I tried to leave over four years ago,” he says. “There is no future here for us.” Khaled is now living with his family in a village on the outskirts of Tripoli, a city that has been wracked by violence for years ­because it hosts a large population of both Sunnis and Alawites, the sect from which Bashar al-Assad hails.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I am happy to see my family again. And they are happy too. But I want to leave Lebanon. I want to live and work in a country where I can be safe and happy. I want to work in a country where I can live a better life,’’ he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He knows 15 other Lebanese men who have recently returned or were deported from Manus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Khaled was reluctant to discuss the specifics of the <b>asylum</b> claim he submitted. Dutton has argued that those who did not meet the criteria for <b>refugee</b> status in PNG are “here simply for economic gain”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“What should they do? They should go back home,” he told ABC TV last month. “Because if we allow people who are not refugees to come here, we then displace people who have a legitimate claim to make of persecution like the Yazidis we brought in most recently under the 12,000 Syrian and Iraq program.” The biggest headache for the government is the large group of Iranians, whose government has doggedly refused to accept forced returns from Australia. As <b>boat</b> ­arrivals soared under the Gillard government, then foreign minister Bob Carr accused Iranians in particular of “coming here as economic migrants”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For those who rebuff the cash incentives and cannot be deported, their future status on Manus is unclear.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The majority of <b>asylum</b>-seekers who opted to voluntarily ­return did so before their <b>asylum</b> claims had even been processed, with 470 opting to go home by the end of 2014.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why are we so cruel to people seeking our protection, asks Jennifer Robinson</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's not every day you get invited to speak at New York's Lincoln Centre between the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, and the woman who very nearly became the first female President of the US, Hillary Clinton - and just after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But such is the growing international concern about Australia's offshore detention centres: I was invited to speak alongside whistleblowers Alanna Maycock and Viktoria Vibhakar at the Women in the World Summit about what they described as "Australia's Shame".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">US President Donald Trump's infamous first phone call with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, calling the Australia-US <b>refugee</b> deal "dumb", brought global attention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On stage, Trudeau repeated his now famous words: "To those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians welcome you, regardless of your faith."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I was struck by the contrast with Turnbull's words: refugees arriving by <b>boat</b> "will never settle in this country".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> For good reason, the <span class="companylink">New York Times</span> has reported that "[t]he world's <b>refugee</b> crisis knows no more sinister exercise in cruelty than Australia's island prisons": 1262 women, men and children seeking <b>asylum</b> have been indefinitely detained in conditions the UN Committee Against Torture condemn as torture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Amnesty's report, Island of Despair, documents horrific conditions driving vulnerable <b>asylum</b> seekers to desperation, including a Pakistani man who tried to commit suicide twice in 10 weeks by dousing himself in petrol and drinking dishwashing liquid and a 13-year-old Afghan boy who has attempted suicide multiple times using a knife, petrol and by drowning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Domestic litigation has not been able to end the offshore detention regime. The audience was surprised to hear Australia has no bill of rights that would allow the kind of challenge that stymied Trump's Muslim ban - and that it took a legal challenge before Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court, under their bill of rights, to get a ruling that Australia's indefinite detention of refugees on Manus is unlawful and must end. Challenges to detention in Nauru have failed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The audience was audibly affected by what they heard from Alanna and Viktoria: women and children being raped, women being denied access to sanitary supplies and forced to use fabric from the tents they live in to stem menstrual blood, being denied basic and necessary medical treatment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As an international human rights lawyer I deal with abhorrent cases all over the world, but I felt sick listening to what the Australian government is doing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The audience reaction reinforced my firm belief in the power of storytelling to create political action. But Alanna and Viktoria risked two years in prison for telling these stories.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I was ashamed to have to explain that instead of addressing the injustices they speak of, the Australian government introduced the Border Force Act to make it a crime punishable by imprisonment to speak about it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Threatening those who speak out about human rights abuse with criminal prosecution is the kind of behaviour you expect from authoritarian regimes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The law is a cynical and effective tool to keep us in the dark.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our democracy depends on an informed voting public. By restricting the information available to its citizens, the Australian government is attempting to insulate itself from criticism and democratic accountability. Australia faces a major accountability deficit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For this reason, the Grata Fund - Australia's first crowd-funded litigation fund - supported Doctors4Refugees and Fitzroy Legal Service to make it possible to challenge the Border Force Act in court. Our goal is to protect the ability of doctors, teachers and other staff to speak out about what they see to ensure Australians have the information we need to hold our politicians to account.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first case forced important concessions for health professionals, but teachers, lawyers, social workers and others still face prison. We plan to support a challenge to overturn this law for everyone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our children and our grandchildren will ask us: How could we have been so cruel to people seeking our protection?</p>

Some 137,000 made it to Australia to begin new lives - the majority prosperous, productive and inspiring but others riven by sadness, guilt and indelible pain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The film's central character is Kim, a woman who arrived here as a youngster after an arduous and despairing voyage in a broken <b>boat</b> to reinvent herself and carry the residual hopes her family envisaged for a viable future.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Everything bad that can occur does. The uncle, played by Hieu Phan, does his best to absorb the crushing misfortunes that befall his party. A broken engine becalms the small <b>boat</b>. Pirates attack and requests for help are ignored. In one instance, the Thai navy tows the unseaworthy vessel back to sea after the group makes landfall but is denied entry to the country and its <b>refugee</b> camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are some longeurs but the sense of time is as palpable as the fear, thirst and hunger are tangible. Hieu Phan is magnificent, drawing deeply on his memories. The depth of Kim's pain is unmistakable.</p>

Conjured from thin air and sunshine, these largest of all organisms carry the weight of ecosystems, give oxygen to the world and create citadels of biodiversity. Writing an adequate homage to such exceptional creatures is daunting, but biologist Haskell proves equal to the challenge. He tells stories of 12 tree species (sadly none Australian) and his stories weave through politics, evolution, culture, climate and ecology. This is neither memoir disguised as nature-writing, nor oversimplified science-writing. Haskell listens to trees with the reverence of a scientist: intently, experientially, emotionally and analytically. This is lyrical, authoritative, moving and the most beautifully written book I have read in a very long time.</p>

As a young woman, she suffers two breakdowns and is committed to M Ward, the psychiatric unit of Canberra Hospital, where she is diagnosed as schizophrenic. There she meets counterculture poet Michael Dransfield, hospitalised for addiction and depression. Their attraction is immediate. “Falling in love when you’re mad feels sublimely sane,” she says. They make plans to marry but six months later Dransfield is dead and Keogh descends into madness again. She writes with such clarity you share her suffering and endure the treatments that “destroy my spirit, my passion, my soul”. But ultimately this is a book of hope as she finds inner peace.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The changing of the guard at the helm of <span class="companylink">SBS</span>'s broadcast of the world's biggest non-sporting competition signifies a restored respect for an event that has become something of a laughing stock outside Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With her industry cred, music trivia knowledge, and a genial personality that radiated from the set of Spicks and Specks, Myf Warhurst is in her element. Her companion, comedian Joel Creasey, also fits the bill. With a stand-up shtick based on camp wit and acerbic social insight, he's the LGBTIQ community's unofficial representative at an event adored for its kitsch and OTT production values.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During their eight-year tenure, outgoing hosts Julia Zemiro and Sam Pang attracted their fair share of criticism. Enthusiasm they had in spades, but their treatment of the spectacle had the tendency to come across as just a little too irreverent for some diehards. Sure, Zemiro worked her French heritage and appreciation for the Eurotrash aesthete, and drive radio's "Pangy" raised his eyebrows in all the right places. But there's a fine line between giggling at glitz, glamour and yes, sometimes tasteless costumes and unmelodious songs, and outright mockery. For many, the duo never quite got it right.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By passing the batons to new blood (which includes chef Adam Liaw demonstrating recipes for Euro-themed TV snacks), <span class="companylink">SBS</span> is facilitating a Eurovision revival for Australian viewers, just as we are beginning to cement our place on its main stage. For the third year running, after Jessica Mauboy became the first Australian entrant as part of the 2015 60th anniversary celebrations, and X-Factor winner Dami Im was named runner-up in 2016, Australia can vote for its own, with 17-year-old X-Factor winner, Isaiah Firebrace, poised to sing his single, Don't Come Easy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dedicated fans may cast their votes (see sbs.com.au/Eurovision) during the live broadcast of Semi-final 1 on Wednesday (May 10) from 5am. Other live broadcasts are on Friday (May 12) from 5am (Semi-final 2) and Sunday (May 14) from 5am (the Grand Final).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Up against Sweden's Robin, a favourite to win with the catchy I Can't Go On, Iceland's electro-pop queen Salva singing Paper, and Belgium's Blanche with City Lights, Firebrace is considered a serious contender for a place in the wake of Dami Im's success. He will also have some rather more eccentric competition in the form of Italy's dancing gorilla and the yodelling Romanians. And then there's his fellow Australian, Anja Nissen (a former Voice contestant), representing Denmark.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Making the most of its broadcast rights, <span class="companylink">SBS</span> is also screening Eurovision Top 40 Songs on Wednesday (May 10) at 8.30pm. With the help of aficionados including Irish comic Jason Byrne, British comic Stuart Goldsmith, former Eurovision judge Richard Wilkins and Dave O'Neil, Warhurst and Creasey will present the countdown.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While it is common at Eurovision for pop songs to become theatrical extravaganzas with live animals and excessive use of wind machines, the Europeans know there is more to the event than colour and movement. What started as an attempt at reconciliation through celebration in World War II-ravaged Europe is still a forum in which political allegiances and grievances simmer below the glittery surface.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With her industry cred, music trivia knowledge, and a genial personality that radiated from the set of Spicks and Specks, Myf Warhurst is in her element. Her companion, comedian Joel Creasey, also fits the bill. With a stand-up shtick based on camp wit and acerbic social insight, he's the LGBTIQ community's unofficial representative at an event adored for its kitsch and OTT production values.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During their eight-year tenure, outgoing hosts Julia Zemiro and Sam Pang attracted their fair share of criticism. Enthusiasm they had in spades, but their treatment of the spectacle had the tendency to come across as just a little too irreverent for some diehards. Sure, Zemiro worked her French heritage and appreciation for the Eurotrash aesthete, and drive radio's "Pangy" raised his eyebrows in all the right places. But there's a fine line between giggling at glitz, glamour and yes, sometimes tasteless costumes and unmelodious songs, and outright mockery. For many, the duo never quite got it right.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By passing the batons to new blood (which includes chef Adam Liaw demonstrating recipes for Euro-themed TV snacks), <span class="companylink">SBS</span> is facilitating a Eurovision revival for Australian viewers, just as we are beginning to cement our place on its main stage. For the third year running, after Jessica Mauboy became the first Australian entrant as part of the 2015 60th anniversary celebrations, and X-Factor winner Dami Im was named runner-up in 2016, Australia can vote for its own, with 17-year-old X-Factor winner, Isaiah Firebrace, poised to sing his single, Don't Come Easy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dedicated fans may cast their votes (see sbs.com.au/Eurovision) during the live broadcast of Semi-final 1 on Wednesday (May 10) from 5am. Other live broadcasts are on Friday (May 12) from 5am (Semi-final 2) and Sunday (May 14) from 5am (the Grand Final).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Up against Sweden's Robin, a favourite to win with the catchy I Can't Go On, Iceland's electro-pop queen Salva singing Paper, and Belgium's Blanche with City Lights, Firebrace is considered a serious contender for a place in the wake of Dami Im's success. He will also have some rather more eccentric competition in the form of Italy's dancing gorilla and the yodelling Romanians. And then there's his fellow Australian, Anja Nissen (a former Voice contestant), representing Denmark.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Making the most of its broadcast rights, <span class="companylink">SBS</span> is also screening Eurovision Top 40 Songs on Wednesday (May 10) at 8.30pm. With the help of aficionados including Irish comic Jason Byrne, British comic Stuart Goldsmith, former Eurovision judge Richard Wilkins and Dave O'Neil, Warhurst and Creasey will present the countdown.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While it is common at Eurovision for pop songs to become theatrical extravaganzas with live animals and excessive use of wind machines, the Europeans know there is more to the event than colour and movement. What started as an attempt at reconciliation through celebration in World War II-ravaged Europe is still a forum in which political allegiances and grievances simmer below the glittery surface. This year the non-musical tensions between 2017 host nation, Ukraine, and Russia have spilled over into the event, with Russian entrant Yulia Samoylova barred from entering the host country. While the opportunity for peace brokering between those two countries at the Euroclub after-parties is now off the table, let's hope Britain's Lucie Jones (another X-Factor discovery) can soothe some Brexit bruises with her single, Never Give Up On You.</p>

Conjured from thin air and sunshine, these largest of all organisms carry the weight of ecosystems, give oxygen to the world and create citadels of biodiversity. Writing an adequate homage to such exceptional creatures is daunting, but biologist David Haskell proves equal to the challenge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Haskell tells stories of 12 tree species (sadly none Australian): ceibos from the Amazon, sabal palms from Florida, olives from the Middle East. It is neither memoir disguised as nature-writing, nor oversimplified science-writing.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nabakov said that writers need the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist. Haskell is just such a writer. This book is lyrical, authoritative, moving and extraordinary. It is quite the most beautifully written book I have read in a very long time. DANIELLE CLODE ****** 2 Fiction HOUSE OF NAMES Colm Toibin Picador $29.99 Toibin, possibly my favourite writer, in 2012 lifted his gaze from Enniscorthy in County Wexford that has long been his muse to write about Mary Magdalene and how she watched in despair, racked with grief and loss, as Jesus died on the cross. This time, he makes his own the blood-soaked Greek myth of Clytemnestra, who murders her husband, Agamemnon, after he sacrificed their daughter Iphigenia to the gods in the hope of favourable sea winds during the Trojan campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It becomes a gripping story of family as Iphigenia’s sister, Electra, watches Clytemnestra take a lover while her brother, Orestes, grows up far from family. Toibin, never less than a captivating writer, creates a new story for Orestes who was kidnapped and exiled but becomes a warrior and returns to avenge his father’s death. PENELOPE DEBELLE ***** 3 Memoir THE GREEN BELL Paula Keogh Affirm Press $29.99 How does it feel to be mad? Paula Keogh gives voice to her lifelong struggle with mental illness in this very personal story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a young woman, Keogh suffers two breakdowns and is committed to M Ward, the psychiatric unit of Canberra Hospital, where she is diagnosed as schizophrenic. There she meets counterculture poet Michael Dransfield, in hospital for addiction and depression. Their attraction is immediate. “Falling in love when you’re mad feels sublimely sane,” she says. They plan to marry but six months later Dransfield is dead and Keogh descends into madness again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Keogh writes with such clarity that you can share her suffering and endure the treatments that “destroy my spirit, my passion, my soul”. Ultimately, this is a book of hope as she finds inner strength, peace, and fulfilment. DIANA CARROLL ***1/2 4 Crime THE LUCKY ONE Caroline Overington <span class="companylink">HarperCollins</span> $32.99 It’s a pity Overington didn’t use a pseudonym for what, in the American parlance, doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. This novel has nothing in common with her considered, heart-wrenching and authentically Australian stories of bogans, neglected children and tragic losers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here we have the plot of a daytime soap opera (of alarming similarity to the Dallas saga of the 1980s): there’s a castle in California, an old and frail patriarch, various nasty offspring who can’t wait to sell the estate to evil developers, a sudden death, DNA tests with surprising results … blah, blah, blah. It’s entertaining enough but not for the same market as the Australian oeuvre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The only memorable character is an appalling, tweeting journalist, revealing perhaps what the Walkley Award-winner thinks of the modern-day industry.SHELLEY ORCHARD *** 5 Picturebook I’M AUSTRALIAN TOO Mem Fox and Ronojoy Ghosh Scholastic $19.99 In characteristic bouncy rhythm and cheerful rhyme Mem Fox celebrates multicultural Australia with an inclusive refrain appealing to young readers: “I’m Australian! How about you?” She deals particularly well with the nation’s First Peoples with a casual “Our mob’s been here forever — now we share with you …” and illustrator Ronojoy Ghosh (born in India) has provided an inner-city landscape leaving Irish farmers and Afghan <b>boat</b> arrivals, represented by a cameleer and a train crossing the Nullarbor, to inhabit the wide open spaces.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All is not naively upbeat, however: one of the final characters is a little girl releasing a white dove into the blue above walls, razor wire and arc lights: “Sadly, I’m a <b>refugee</b> — I’m not Australian yet. But if your country lets me in, I’d love to be a vet.”KATHARINE ENGLAND ****</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the day Donald Trump launched his airstrike on Syria almost a month ago, the Australian government touted the 30th turnback of an <b>asylum</b> seeker <b>boat</b> under Operation Sovereign Borders. Australian authorities returned the 25 Sri Lankan nationals on the <b>boat</b>, with the co-operation of the Sri Lankan government.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton "about 765 people on 30 boats have now been returned" since the operation began in 2013. Yet, at his press conference, he refused to answer a single key question about where or when the <b>boat</b> was intercepted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The absence of a political, or even a media, debate on the matter is particularly disturbing considering turnbacks are unlawful under international law, as explained in a new Policy Brief from the Kaldor Centre for International <b>Refugee</b> Law. Nevertheless, Dutton presented Operation Sovereign Borders as an "ongoing success".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At one level, this should come as no surprise, considering that both major political parties have embraced Australia's "stop the boats" mantra, to the point there is now virtually no argument between them about the adequacy and legality of turnbacks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, the policy rests on a thin domestic legal veneer. It does not accord with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Search and Rescue Convention, the Safety of Life at Sea Convention, the <b>Refugee</b> Convention or core international human rights treaties. Instead, Australian law concerning turnbacks exploits gaps in those texts and misinterprets key concepts, dubiously expanding government powers of control to the detriment of the rights of refugees and people seeking <b>asylum</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">EU</span> is following suit. The recent "Malta Declaration" shows that European leaders, too, are "determined ... to significantly reduce migratory flows" across the Mediterranean. <span class="companylink">EU</span> member states have deployed a securitarian, rather than humanitarian, response since the beginning of the so-called "<b>refugee</b> crisis" in 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Operations co-ordinated by Europe's external frontiers agency (Frontex) focus on border security and migration control, despite the "saving lives" rhetoric used to justify deployments Operation Triton, for instance, covering the central Mediterranean, does not include a proactive search-and-rescue component. Neither does Operation Sophia, the European military-led mission patrolling the high seas close to Libya, whose objective is to combat migrant smuggling through the identification and "disposal" of smuggling vessels. The short-term effect of these operations has not been to stop the boats, but rather to push maritime flows to the eastern Mediterranean, to the Turkish-Greek route, as the first six-monthly report of Operation Sophia reveals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There, in the Aegean Sea, Frontex-co-ordinated Operation Poseidon has been buttressed by two additional measures to counter crossings. The first is the controversial EU-Turkey Statement, which guarantees the readmission of all "irregular migrants" who leave Turkey, including refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The second is that controls at sea have been reinforced by an anti-smuggling <span class="companylink">NATO</span> mission — which has no search-and-rescue or border-security mandate. When <span class="companylink">NATO</span> ships encounter distress situations, the response is apparently to directly return to Turkey all survivors, irrespective of whether those on board face persecution or other serious harm, including illegal removals back to Syria. The effect of this has been to displace <b>asylum</b>-seeker movements back to the Libyan-Italian route, as indicated by Operation Sophia's second six-monthly report.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Overall, these policies of containment without protection have had no impact on the total number of maritime arrivals in the <span class="companylink">EU</span>, which continue at steady levels (now mostly via Italy). More people have died in longer, more dangerous routes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This demonstrates the futility of pursuing a target of "zero boats". Deterrence policies are costly on several counts. They exact a high cost from the public purse; their high secrecy levels come at the expense of democratic accountability; and there is a terrible human toll for very marginal gains in Government control. Every year sets a new record of fatalities, despite increased surveillance and deterrence resources, reaching the unbearable figure of 46,000 deaths at sea since 2000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Deterrence policies do not really "save lives". They hamper desperate people fleeing war and persecution from finding safety. But they do not solve the so-called "migration problem"; they compound it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the political will to save lives really existed, then governments in both hemispheres would engage in genuine search-and-rescue actions, allowing those rescued to disembark and formally seek <b>asylum</b> in their territory. They would embrace a comprehensive approach and use their powers of migration control in line with their international legal obligations, offering alternative pathways to ensure safe and legal arrival to Europe and Australia. Humanitarian visas, community sponsorship programs and extended resettlement schemes are a much better investment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead, turnbacks show the growing chasm between <span class="companylink">EU</span> and Australian policies and international law. Regrettably, they also illustrate the political success of a highly legally questionable approach to forced movement. </p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If you walk along Hobart’s Elizabeth Mall on a Friday, you are likely to meet with an unexpected sight — a group of women, and sometimes men, will be standing around one of the pillars, knitting.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These are only some of the growing number of members and supporters of a group called the Tassie Nannas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Besides knitting rugs and dolls for refugees and their children, they also strongly advocate a more humane approach for Australia’s refugees. Their signs say it all: Fair go for Refugees and Free the Children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are many myths associated with refugees and many refer to those who arrive by <b>boat</b> as “illegals”. This is simply not true. Under the UN <b>Refugee</b> Convention, to which Australia is a signatory, every person has the right to seek safety for themselves and a future for their children. We all know that, in their shoes, we would do the same, so we cannot just turn our backs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Initially, the Tassie Nannas focused on the unsafe and depressing conditions <b>refugee</b> children were experiencing on Nauru. Now they have expanded that concern to all of Australia’s refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most of us shrug off the plight of refugees by saying “it’s not my problem” or “let the Government deal with it, what do we pay them for?” but let’s remember that we live in a democracy, we are responsible for what our Government does. As Australians, do we really want a system that behaves as if it’s okay to lock people away indefinitely in secret detention facilities, fail to process their claims, and expect everyone to just forget about them?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are not statistics in a report and they are certainly not criminals. They are just people who want a chance to make their lives worth living.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are still 380 refugees on Nauru (45 of them children) and 861 men on Manus Island. Any of these who are not offered a place in the US have the choice of returning to the country they had to flee from or “settling” in PNG, whose people have made it very clear they do not want them. It’s therefore not clear where the refugees will go who do not have the opportunity to go to the US.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In addition to those offshore, there are more than 1300 refugees in onshore detention facilities in Australia and more than 25,000 people (including children) on various bridging visas living in the Australian community. Most of the people on bridging visas are waiting for their requests for permanent visas to be processed. Some are allowed to work, others are just waiting in limbo.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All of these people on temporary visas are living in fear of being sent back to detention either to offshore camps where no one, not even Members of Parliament, can visit them, or to the detention centres still operating on the Australian mainland, or back to the country they were forced to leave. This can drag on for years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By anyone’s measure, nobody deserves this degree of uncertainty for so long. Politically, a bipartisan approach is the only way to improve the situation for Australia’s refugees. It is time we, the people of Australia, made this happen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At present our Government is spending $400,000 per person per year ($9.2 billion in the past three years) to hold innocent people indefinitely in offshore camps. This is not only inhumane, it is also not sustainable in monetary terms. It simply does not make sense.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In fact, there is no logical reason to keep refugees in offshore camps now. If Navy surveillance and <b>boat</b> turnbacks are continuing, and if the boats have been stopped (as we are told), then there is no need to hold these people indefinitely as a deterrent to others. Some may go to the US, others could take the opportunity to move on to New Zealand (something our Government has denied them up to now), still others could be allowed to join family already in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We could be proud of giving those who have lost everything the chance of a new start. The Tassie Nannas are working towards making this happen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If you would like to join the Tassie Nannas or talk to them about these issues, they are in the Elizabeth Mall on Fridays from 11am to 1pm and can be contacted via email at tassienannas@ gmail.comAnne Godfrey is among a group of grandmothers and others called the Tassie Nannas, who work to get refugees out of offshore camps. They advocate for the humane treatment of all seeking <b>asylum</b> in Australia.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What should worry us, however, is how someone this silly is given so many public platforms from which to air her views.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Anzac Day, ABC commentator Yassmin Abdel-Magied offended many Australians when she posted: “LEST. WE. FORGET. (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine …)”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Stupidly, she attempted to draw a line between Australia’s time-honoured commemoration of our war dead with a grab bag of trendy foreign affairs issues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The reaction from Abdel-Magied’s usually loyal band of <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> followers was brutal as it was rapid. “Your previous post has completely discredited you …” said one. Soon after she amended the offending tweet to simply say “Lest we forget”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Too late. Damage done.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet while Abdel-Magied’s tweet upset many patriotic Australians, that wasn’t her real sin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After all, freedom of speech is a democratic right we all enjoy. Far more offensive is that in the area of foreign policy, Abdel-Magied has no idea what’s what.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Consider her mentions of Manus and Nauru. These clearly suggest she’s unhappy with Australia’s border control polices, in particular the detainment of <b>asylum</b> seekers on these islands.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Between 2007 (when Labor’s Kevin Rudd was elected PM) and 2013 (when Tony Abbott won the federal election), our country surrendered control of its borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thanks to the government’s then soft approach towards potential refugees, Australia was inundated with boatloads of queue jumpers, many of whom paid thousands of dollars to people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The results of this policy were as deadly as they were muddle-headed. Tens of thousands of people travelled to Malaysia and Indonesia in the hope of gaining illegal entry, via <b>boat</b>, to Australia. About 1200 died at sea, while many others were sent to detention centres where their claims for <b>refugee</b> status could be assessed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Compare the debacle of that policy with what we now enjoy. Not one people smuggler has successfully crossed our sea lanes in almost three years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And recently US vice-president Mike Pence has confirmed his nation will accept the remaining legitimate refugees detained on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, Yassmin, we haven’t forgotten about <b>asylum</b> seekers. Instead we’ve fixed the problem of people drowning at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As to Syria, does Abdel-Magied honestly believe Australians are unaware of that country’s brutal war? Hardly a day goes by without us hearing of yet another atrocity from this hideous conflict.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like all civil wars, Syria’s is particularly vicious; civilians are routinely maimed and killed, the battle lines often cross major population centres and chemical weapons of mass destruction have been deployed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Contrary to Abdel-Magied’s post, we are at no risk of forgetting this either. The real problem is how to fix it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, we have the problem of picking sides. Syria’s official leader, Bashar Al-Assad is a bloodthirsty dictator who’ll stop at nothing to retain power.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Arrayed against him, however, is an opposition of fundamentalist Islamic combatants affiliated with terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Islamic State. There are no “goodies” in this fight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, Yassmin, just who do we back when both sides are evil?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, even if we could choose a Syrian faction to support, what then? More bombing from the air? This rarely wins wars. Insert large numbers of Australian boots on the ground? Better get used to plenty more pointless ADF casualties. Accept more Syrian refugees here? Hang on, we’re already doing that.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then there’s Palestine. Conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians has been occurring since at least 1948. Like the war in Syria, Hezbollah-inspired terrorist bombings followed by inevitable Israeli Defence Force responses are widely reported.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here in Australia there is also considerable (albeit misguided) support for the “Boycott, Divest and Sanctions” (BDS) movement. This campaign exerts economic pressure on Israel to withdraw from Palestinian territory.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Better minds than Abdel-Magied’s have tried for decades to find a solution to the Israel-Palestine dispute. To date all have failed, but focus on the issue remains predictably intense.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abdel-Magied’s Anzac Day post wasn’t upsetting just because it was offensive. Rather, she should avoid speaking out because much of what she thinks is half-witted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We are in no danger of forgetting <b>asylum</b> seekers, Syria or Palestine anytime soon.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And thanks to social media we’re probably also doomed to remember for a long time the views of Yassmin Abdel-Magied.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The deal ends a bitter, three-year legal battle that had initially aimed to secure compensation for thousands of <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Iranian girl, referred to as "AS", was held in detention on Christmas Island for almost a year, after arriving in Australia with her parents by <b>boat</b> in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A class action was launched on her behalf in 2014 against then-immigration minister Scott Morrison and the Commonwealth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The girl's lawyers argued she developed post-traumatic stress disorder, a dental infection, a stammer and separation anxiety in detention, and still needs ongoing medical treatment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lawyers reached a compromise before the trial, which involves the government paying compensation to AS in exchange for her dropping her legal claim.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Supreme Court Justice Jack Forrest approved the confidential deal on Wednesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It comes after Justice Forrest last month halted the class action, ruling that other <b>asylum</b> seekers could no longer jointly sue the Commonwealth with AS. The judge said their personal injury claims were too different from hers and each other's to be dealt with as a group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">AS and her family have been living in the community on a temporary bridging visa since January 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Outside court, Sister Brigid Arthur, the litigation guardian for AS, said the girl and her family were relieved to put the case behind them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"In one way, while it's an effort to get justice, it's also an extra trauma for them, and an extra thing they were waiting for a response to," said Sister Arthur, who is co-ordinator for the Brigidine <b>Asylum</b> Seekers Project.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While 35,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers were detained on Christmas Island between 2011 and 2014, it is unknown how many had signed on to the class action.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tom Ballantyne, a principal of Maurice Blackburn, which represented AS, said outside court that while the deal was in her best interests, no amount of compensation could properly recognise what she and other <b>asylum</b> seekers had been through on the island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Ballantyne rejected the notion that the class action failed, saying Justice Forrest's decision did not affect others' rights to claim compensation separately.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It in no way judged the actual conditions on Christmas Island," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There are thousands of people who have been deeply affected by their experiences [in detention], and we encourage them to seek legal advice if they want to."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The judge will make formal orders in the coming days, and the question of legal costs will be discussed in court next week.</p>

Kaufman and most of the other Gas Monkeys are flat-out working on a Frankenstein Porsche. The car is a 16-year-old 996 that Kaufman picked up cheap because it had a blown motor. Replacing the engine with a great big American V8 was the easy part. But Kaufman's odd decision to fit the 996 with a body kit designed to make it look like a 997 is causing all sorts of problems. He has to get things sorted because he has a date for a drag race against Rawlings' 2016 Porsche. Rawlings, meanwhile, is out in California looking for old Mustangs to buy. A lead on a '68 Shelby Mustang also uncovers a bunch of rare '70s 'Stangs. It's all good fun and doesn't overdo the testosterone. BN</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">9Gem, 8.30pm</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 10 John Grisham cinema adaptations so far have been a mixed batch, rarely achieving the unputdownable quality of the novels. And it isn't as if name directors haven't tried their hand, from Alan J. Pakula and Sydney Pollack to Francis Ford Coppola. Indeed, it was Pollack who made the first and best: The Firm. It is the story of a prestigious Memphis law firm that seeks out the brightest law graduates and makes them an offer they can't refuse. Mitch McDeere (Tom Cruise) and wife Abby (Jeanne Tripplehorn) happily agree but, when Mitch discovers his bosses' evil intentions, he needs to escape quickly. This is an engrossing film from a master filmmaker, a thriller as elegantly made as it is gripping. The cast, too, is stellar, with Gene Hackman never more charming or scary as a senior partner.

Professor Munjed Al Muderis has pioneered osseointegration surgery, which takes a leap past conventional prosthetics to merge man and machine. The surgery is controversial - and not easy to watch - but makes a world of difference to former soldier Michael Swain as he works towards fulfilling his dream of walking to collect his MBE from the Queen.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The USS Carl Vinson may or may not be heading towards North Korea. The North Koreans may be threatening to blow us all up. For the moment, it has stopped us worrying quite so much about China, though as Hugh White points out in the Review lift-out today, we should really be thinking about China a bit more than we do.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But in Australia we are back to playing more mundane domestic politics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even, it seems, when things look a bit hairy in the world, we leave foreign policy to the "experts" and chat amongst ourselves about other things.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Except this week's "other things" are actually related to the rest of the world and foreign policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While government ministers tottered around the country pre-preparing the ground for a budget built around the reassuring concrete of visible infrastructure, the Prime Minister and the Immigration Minister made a series of announcements about who can come to Australia and the method by which they come.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was an announcement on temporary work visas - the 457s. Then, yesterday, a tightened-up citizenship test.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Underneath the disputed first-round impact of both measures, there are some very significant but largely overlooked changes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whether or not goat herders are able to get a 457 visa in future, the more important point is that people who do get 457 visas will no longer be so sure that they can get permanent residency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just think for a moment about how that might change your big investment decisions in life - such as whether you are going to buy a house. Or all the things that go in it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The largest contribution to net overseas migration in recent years has been from people on temporary visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Similarly, if you tighten the citizenship test, you are setting up the ground to 1) restrict citizenship to English speakers and 2) be able to throw a lot of people out of the country if they can be found to have fibbed in some way about matters, from their view of women or the role of welfare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The politics of this is all pretty obvious when the government is under pressure from both the left and right on immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Politics of course is a confidence game. In the days when John Howard ventured into turf about borders and citizenship it may have often been portrayed as a dog whistle, but it was also spoken of as a political masterstroke in the great pragmatic tradition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With voters and the media alike perceiving Malcolm Turnbull as a prime minister in trouble, his efforts this week have been seen as something else all together: a panicked move to head off trouble.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet his rationale for the citizenship move was exactly the same one as Howard - and others - have used in the past: that there must be confidence in the migration program if it is to have community support. And that community support is a crucial factor in Australia's multicultural success.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this week's moves should be understood as something very different from the Howard moves on <b>boat</b> people, even if the language employed was not just very similar but linked people-smuggling to 457 visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Now, whether it is on border protection and Labor's shameful record on people-smuggling - recall 50,000 unauthorised arrivals, over 1200 deaths at sea - that was Labor's record on the borders," Turnbull said on Tuesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They failed to keep our borders secure, and they failed to manage a 457 system - a temporary migration system - in the national interest. We are changing that."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His Immigration Minister, Peter Dutton, linked the changes to 457s and the citizenship test to national security, especially Islamic terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We've seen what's happening in North Korea, we've seen what's happened in Syria, Iraq, in parts of Europe", he told Sky News on Wednesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We need to make sure that we have the right people coming into our country."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The term "Team Australia" has been popping up in the rhetoric.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In his new book on Australian foreign policy since 1942, Fear of Abandonment, Allan Gyngell reflects on what he describes as "a fragmenting world" for Australian foreign policy between 2008 and 2016 and the quite profound role <b>asylum</b> seeker policy played in it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The issue of <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving in Australia by <b>boat</b> "was framed in many different contexts: as an immigration matter, a national security threat, a humanitarian obligation, a question of regional order building, and an effort to counter international criminal enterprises", the former head of the Office of National Assessments notes. "Each of these elements had implications for Australia's foreign policy in the Middle East, South Asia, south-east Asia and the Pacific."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister himself has framed this week's developments in the same space as <b>asylum</b> seekers but it actually represents something closer to home. It is, as one long-time observer notes, "a hunkering down around the economy".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We are not just being frightened of, or hostile to, people who aren't like us. We are being frightened about our jobs, and about our sense of ourselves, even as the Prime Minister argues that the citizenship test is the very antithesis of this.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Are you proud of our Australian values? Are you a proud Australian?", he asked a journalist at a press conference yesterday. "You should stand up for it. You should stand up for those values and that's what we're doing."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No matter how much other countries may be moving in similar directions on policy, such statements once again move Australia somewhere different in terms of the messages to the rest of the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This time, it might not be so much about xenophobia and racism - though those take-outs might be there too. It is about how much we want to be part of the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For 30 years our message has been one of engagement and opening up in an economic sense to competitive pressures and free trade. This week's developments reflect one of the most tangible signs for the community at large that we are not so sure about that any more.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I believe the way we look after and care for <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees is best practice in the world,” Waqa says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Certainly, it would be one way the tiny, phosphate-depleted island would be able to continue to sustain itself economically, once most of the refugees bound for Australia have been resettled elsewhere.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It could be 10, it could be 1200,’’ Waqa says, although despite all of US President Donald Trump’s bluster about the “worst deal ever”, the Nauruan president — like our own prime minister — is confident it will go ahead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If the United States weren’t serious about it they would have pulled the plug a long time ago, but we know level-minded(ness) and sensibleness will prevail and I think it’s the relationship between the United States and Australia, really, that has to be maintained there,” Waqa says.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This comment from veteran Papua New Guinea observer Sean Dorney sums up Australia's attitude towards its nearest neighbour, former colony and now troubled western Pacific state.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, by having just a one-day stopover in PNG this weekend on his way to India, typifies this Australian attitude.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As he takes in the vistas, Mr Turnbull should ponder that while Australia's relationship with the US is fundamental, ties with China are critical, and links with Indonesia are pivotal, relations with Papua New Guinea are the most sensitive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Peter Varghese, a former head of the Foreign Affairs Department, noted: "Our relationship with PNG is a barometer of the success of our broader foreign policy."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jonathan Pryke, Research Fellow and Director of the PNG Network, Melanesia Program at the <span class="companylink">Lowy Institute for International Policy</span>, says "we're wedded to PNG by geography; their problems are our problems".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But for accident-averse Australian politicians, the problematic history of our involvement in PNG, plus the blistering sore posed by the Manus Island <b>refugee</b> detention centre, make it expedient to pigeonhole Port Moresby, the capital, as a stopover. The twin purposes of Mr Turnbull's visit are to commemorate the wartime heroism of Australian soldiers and locals on the 75th anniversary of the Kokoda Trail, and upgrade bilateral business relations. Worthy causes in themselves, but there's so much more. Like all governments since Australia granted PNG independence in 1975, the Turnbull administration understands how vital it is for Australia to have a stable Papua New Guinea on its doorstep. But an Australian foreign policy elite giddy at having a seat at the table of the great and the good through the G20 may, perhaps unconsciously, view the neighbourhood - dotted with small and troubled states like PNG, the Solomon Islands, and Nauru - as relatively unglamorous. And what if PNG, a country of about seven million people that sits just above the tip of Cape York Peninsula, becomes a failed state?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The prospect of thousands of people fleeing a dysfunctional Papua New Guinea and heading south is worrying to say the least. It is also ironic given the Manus Island detention centre, the subject of a PNG Supreme Court closure order, was established to house refugees who attempted to reach Australia by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A mountainous state with great natural wealth in gas, copper, gold and timber, Papua New Guinea has become an economic basket case. Rampant corruption, lack of jobs, a bleeding budget, minimal infrastructure, depleted health, education and police services, and pervasive violence are roiling one of the most extraordinary countries in the world. A disconnect that shows up between natural wealth and abject poverty, hallucinatory beauty and everyday despair, potential and reality, recalls a PNG proverb: "Knowledge is only a rumour until it is in the muscle." But as Jonathan Pryke says, PNG "continues to muddle through and find its own way", although he poses the question: "How much of that is muddle through and how much of that is muddle down?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dorney, attached to the <span class="companylink">Lowy Institute</span> as a non-resident Fellow, and a one-time ABC Pacific correspondent, and author of a book on Australia and PNG titled The Embarrassed Colonialist, says the paradox of the country is that "the multiplicity" of languages and tribes "is also beneficial in that democratic sense. There is no one tribe that is going to take over".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is also sobering for any observer promiscuously spraying around the word "instability" to recall that in the last decade Australia has had five changes of prime minister while PNG has had two.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The current challenge for PNG is to mould its democracy to suit the Melanesian culture, where bartering acts as a salve in the economic life of a self-sustaining Highlands farming community. Once money is introduced in urban areas, that exchange culture metastasises into massive patronage and corruption. This is the dilemma facing an Australian government under pressure to grant more cash "aid" to PNG. Recently PNG's treasurer, Patrick Pruaitch, said the country's economy has "fallen off a cliff". After years of declining revenue following the collapse in commodity prices, a government spending spree exacerbated the budget crisis. Public debt has almost tripled in the last five years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"All Papua New Guineans would be better off today if our government had given more consideration to the quality of its spending than in promoting extravagant projects built at highly inflated costs," Mr Pruaitch said recently, in a comment that may have had more to do with pre-election manoeuvring than any formal mea culpa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Royalties and dividends from natural gas, copper and gold mining projects formerly accounted for a large part of PNG's state revenue. But closures, scaling back projects and reduced export prices sharply dented that fiscal buffer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Richard Curtain, an international consultant on development strategies, and specialising in labour market mobility in Pacific island states and Timor Leste, says aid "has to be based on understanding the political economy" of the recipient country. The donor state should respond "to the ways things are rather than operating from a position of 'how do we control this in a way that doesn't mean we have exposed ourselves'." "If you continually get preoccupied with the corruption you end up going to tightly controlled project aid programmes that don't have much impact. You've got to engage. The big issue is how you do that. In some ways handing cash over provides an opportunity to work out how to do it in a way that puts pressure on the government to deliver what it says it's delivering."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the Bard once put it, "there's many a slip twixt cup and lip". An alternative is to adopt the Jonathan Pryke aid model, where a specialist body, like, say, the <span class="companylink">IMF</span>, acts as a filter for delivering Australian aid to PNG.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Let's hope that, either way, for people in PNG the "rumour" about "knowledge" will sometime get translated into "muscle". P</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ORGANISED crime syndicates led by Iraqi refugees on temporary protection visas as well as Afghani and Vietnamese crims are behind a wave of car insurance fraud which is driving up all NSW motorists’ green slip prices.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Strike Force Ravens, a police taskforce investigating the compulsory third party insurance scams, yesterday moved on the Lansvale’s Floyd Bay <b>boat</b> ramp on the Georges River to drag out dumped stolen cars believed to be part of the massive fraud scheme. At least one vehicle was identified after being dragged out by towing crews and police divers last night.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fraud involves the use of minor or even fake crashes being reported, either to insurance companies or the Police Assistance Line. Conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder in one or two-year-old infants are often fraudulently declared as part of the reports.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To avoid costs associated with court battles, insurance companies pay out the claims, worth tens of thousands. Police “strongly suspect” the scams cover hundreds of CTP insurance claims and involve doctors and solicitors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Wednesday, detectives raided two premises in a bid to gather evidence and lay charges over the racket.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the execution of search warrants at offices in Auburn and Bankstown, police seized a variety of documents and electronic storage devices for forensic examination.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The commander of the Fraud and Cybercrime Squad, Detective Superintendent Arthur Katsogiannis (left), said that the scams were intricate and well-organised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“From our investigations thus far, we strongly suspect that medical practitioners and solicitors have been complicit in these fraudulent CTP schemes,” Mr Katsogiannis said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’re appealing to the community for information that may assist us ... and I also want to send out a strong warning to anyone making or assisting fraudulent CTP (claims) to expect a visit from our detectives from Strike Force Ravens very soon.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s important that we put a stop to this culture of entitlement. “It impacts financially not only on the state of NSW but on each and every one of us who registers our motor vehicle and has our green slip.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have looked at hundreds of claims and we have probed the accuracy of these claims and we can say the estimate of around $400 million per annum it costs the CTP scheme is fairly accurate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s (also) a timely reminder to legal and medical practitioners ... (to) ensure they conduct due diligence when dealing with claimants.” The Daily Telegraph ­understands that the scam’s ringleaders include Iraqi <b>asylum</b> seekers, who often hire community members to make the claims for large windfalls.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Afghani and Vietnamese communities are also believed to be involved, with South Western Sydney bearing much larger footprint for green slip claims as a result of the fraud.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Investigations under Strike Force Ravens are continuing and further police operations are expected,” a police statement said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finance Minister Victor Dominello set up the green slip fraud taskforce which led to the establishment of the police strike force in August last year. Mr Dominello said the NSW government’s new reforms, which will stop claimants being able to go to court over minor injuries, would help crack down on the fraud.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government has ­already promised savings of $120-$200 a year off the back of the reforms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dominello has previously said fraudulent claims are costing everyone in NSW $75 a year in insurance costs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This is not a fraud against insurance companies; this is a fraud against every motorist in NSW,” Mr Dominello said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The NSW government’s green slip reforms will smash the business model of these fraudsters and leave them nowhere to hide.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Obviously I hope the perpetrators brought to justice.”Police Minister Troy Grant said: “What we see in this ­operation is a stark example in the actual cost of crime to the community and the government is learning how to work across government to address the crime problem.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The payload he was sent to Perth to guard finally arrived by <b>boat</b> in May when the 182kg of drugs arrived at a beach near Port Denison. The mysterious 25m fishing <b>boat</b>, with a Chinese crew, set tongues wagging in Geraldton when it arrived.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b> seekers were ruled out but no information flowed from the harbour. And for very good reason. Authorities had been watching the <b>boat</b> all the way in. And they kept watching for weeks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When they raided Chin’s house three weeks later, they found two suitcases in a locked bedroom — each containing 25kg of meth with a purity of 80 per cent. On the previous two days, at two more properties in East Cannington and Canning Vale, another 132kg of meth had been found.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Supreme Court was told the drugs had come in on the mysterious Chinese <b>boat</b> before being transferred by a marine vessel, landing at a beach near Port Denison.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If sold by the ounce it would be worth $21,201,477, according to the National Measurement Institute.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Also found in Chin’s house were three mobile phones, one of which used the messaging app LINE to communicate with the drug syndicate’s big bosses, who were referred to as Big Brother.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I am satisfied that although you were being supervised by the Big Brothers, they placed a significant amount of trust in you,” Justice Fiannaca said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You played a part in what was a sophisticated enterprise to bring into Australia a very large quantity of methamphetamine for the purpose of distributing it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The amount of methamphetamine found in your possession could supply approximately 500,000 to 1,000,000 individual hits or 100,000 days supply for heavy users.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the seizure, WA Deputy Police Commissioner Gary Dreibergs said the fact the syndicate had continued to operate even after the ship had been seized proved the gang was “brazen and committed”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Chin was jailed for 15 years with a non-parole period of nine years and eight months.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Would there have been as much fuss if her character Major Mira Killian had a blonde wig instead of a black one that gives her the vague appearance of being, or trying to be, of Asian origin?</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mamoru Oshii, director of the 1995 anime Ghost film, said he had no issue with Johansson playing the part because Major’s character is a cyborg with no fixed form or race.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But others have attacked the film for failing to address questions about race and cultural identity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since the film’s release on Thursday two schools of opinion have emerged; this is an unworthy movie, all ghost no shell, or, it is a visual spectacular.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Controversies aside, Ghost in the Shell is a dazzling feast for the eyes, with the 3-D effects in several water scenes, and one where Major smashes through a pane of glass, making stunning use of the medium.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is set in an unnamed city in the future that could be in Japan or one of its filming locations Hong Kong, (the bulk of filming took place in and around Wellington, New Zealand, home of effects specialists Weta Workshop).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Drawing heavily on the look of The Matrix films and Blade Runner with nods to the mythologies of Star Wars and Frankenstein, Ghost in the Shell could so easily have descended into a showcase of style over substance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fortunately it has a solid story. Major is the first successful meshing of a human brain and synthetic body by Hanka Robotics and is now a prized weapon for fighting terrorists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She is the future of cybernetics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Major begins having glitches, flashes of memories that she doesn’t realise were supposed to have been erased during her build.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Major was told by Hanka’s Dr Ouelet (a sympathetic Juliette Binoche) she was rescued from a <b>refugee boat</b> and her brain was all that could be saved but as the film unfolds she begins to suspect this is not the truth. After several of Hanka’s top scientists are hacked and murdered, Major undertakes an unauthorised “deep dive” into what remains of one of the hacker’s geisha robots in an attempt to track him down.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Major gets closer to finding the mysterious hacker Kuze (Michael Pitt), her glitches increase.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among the visual treats are the highly stylised fight sequences and the opening other-worldly scene where Major’s new brain is placed in her robot body.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Johansson is suitably detached as the cyborg questioning her reality and place in the world but is sometimes upstaged by her Section 9 counterparts, the dog-loving Batou (Pilou Asbaek) and their leader, the commanding, almost Yoda-like Aramaki (Takeshi Kitano ).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With its exploration of artificial intelligence, the value of human life, data privacy and the rights of the cyber-enhanced, Ghost in the Shell should appeal to anyone who loved Ex Machina or hit <span class="companylink">HBO</span> series Westworld.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s a futuristic ride for audiences whether they know and love the original manga source material or not, with director Rupert Sanders leaving the door open for a sequel.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Simply titled Manus, the script draws on direct quotes from <b>asylum</b> seekers held in Australia's offshore detention camps, and has drawn an audience of high-ranking officials.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abbas Araghchi, Iran's deputy foreign minister and the man trusted as the chief negotiator in the nuclear deal that saw international sanctions lifted from Iran, attended one night and later mingled with the actors and a former <b>asylum</b> seeker held on Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I tried to invite authorities of Foreign Ministry because of the issue of my play that directly related to their job," the play's director, Nazanin Sahamizadeh, told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> from Tehran.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government has been seeking for more than two years to convince Tehran to accept the forced return of Iranian <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived in Australia by <b>boat</b> but have not been judged to be refugees - a request Iran has so far refused.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Around 7000 Iranians have been granted bridging visas to live in the Australian community, with several hundred Iranian <b>asylum</b> seekers also thought to be held on Manus Island and Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another senior Iranian diplomat last year criticised conditions in Australia's detention centres as "definitely inhumane".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hossein Babaahmadi, who spent 75 days on Manus Island before volunteering to return to Iran in 2013, helped organise interviews for the script with <b>asylum</b> seekers who were in the camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the interviewees included Behrouz Boochani, an Iranian journalist who remains on Manus and was close to Barati.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The conditions on Manus Island were inhumane, they didn't treat us like a human being," Mr Babaahmadi said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Sahamizadeh said the play focuses on eight Iranian characters who fled Iran for Australia, only to be held in Pacific camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The main scene details the riot at Manus Island in February 2014, where 23-year-old Barati was repeatedly beaten with a piece of wood with a nail in the end of it, before a large rock was dropped on his head.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last year, a Papua New Guinea court found two local men found guilty of murdering Barati.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Media restrictions are heavy in Iran and the country is regularly singled out for human rights abuses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"All characters described their story when they were in Iran and had problems," Ms Sahamizadeh said when asked whether it was awkward to show stories in Iran about people claiming to be at risk in Iran.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I had read about Manus two years back and as it was new for me it got me interested," she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I found that it is very important and critical issue."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The play ran for a month in the Qashqai Hall of Tehran's City Theatre Complex, with the final show last week, and Ms Sahamizadeh said it was attended by almost 3000 people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Sahamizadeh said she hoped to eventually bring the play to the stage in Australia and then other countries.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A campaign against a proposed school is shedding light on the scope of the backlash against mainstream politics, write Nick O'Malley and Krystyna Pollard.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The way Marcus Cornish sees it, Penrith is "the last bastion of the Australian way of life in Sydney" and it is his job as a local councillor to "inoculate" the area against the dark changes that have swept the rest of the region over the years.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked what he means by "last bastion", the Penrith City councillor is blunt. "It is the most Anglo-Saxon area in Sydney," he says, outside of Macarthur, to Penrith's west. As a result its residents are more relaxed than they are in other parts of the city. Crime is lower, he says. People still play backyard cricket.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In order to inoculate Penrith, Cornish has lobbied hard in recent years against initiatives by Islamic groups. He claims his support for the Protect Penrith group that ran a failed campaign against the development of two mosques cost him $175,000 in personal contributions and foregone work on his businesses, and he boasts that he was the first politician in the country to pledge on his how-to-vote form to oppose any and all development applications for mosques.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today, Cornish, who quit the Liberal Party after Tony Abbott was felled as leader, is leading another campaign against a proposed Islamic school that would be housed in the disused Penrith infants school building. The campaign has not only divided the council and the community, it sheds light on the scope of the backlash against mainstream politics in Australia, and the particular dangers it presents to the Liberal Party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Penrith is in the heart of the knife-edge federal seat of Lindsay, which in recent elections has been crucial in deciding which party holds government. Tensions over immigration are at the centre of the constant battle for the seat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back in 2010 Julia Gillard and then-Lindsay MP David Bradbury posed on the deck of a Royal Australian Navy patrol <b>boat</b> off the coast of Darwin as the then prime minister announced a half-baked policy of building a <b>refugee</b> processing centre in East Timor for <b>asylum</b> seekers picked up approaching Australia. Given that Bradbury's job had nothing to do with Immigration, Darwin or the Navy, and given that the government had failed to clear the policy with East Timor, the plan ended up not only failing but looking faintly preposterous. It did, though, demonstrate Gillard's desperation to appear tough on immigration to voters in key seats, particularly in city fringe seats where the issue has bitten hard.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lindsay had been the spiritual home of the former Labor-voters who became "Howard Battlers" after it was won by Jackie Kelly. She lost it to Bradbury after people linked to her campaign were caught distributing fake pamphlets ostensibly from an Islamic group urging locals to vote for Labor and thanking it for for supporting terrorists involved with the 2002 Bali bombings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last year the Liberal Party lost Lindsay again, this time to Labor's Emma Husar. She has proved to be an energetic and high-profile local member, but in part she can attribute her victory to Cornish's anti-Islamic populism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Husar beat the incumbent Liberal, Fiona Scott, by 2 per cent, or just 1594 votes. Cornish, who ran as an independent and made his stance against Muslim immigration central to his campaign, won 2128 votes and directed his preferences to Labor. There were other groups who explicitly ran anti-Islamic campaigns, including the Christian Democrats, the Australian Liberty Alliance, and Australia First. Between them they secured around 10,000 votes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cornish is well aware he cannot win the seat, but he and other right-wing populists can split the conservative vote. And he has no plans to go anywhere either. Mainstream parties, Cornish says, run candidates on Sydney's fringe that are nothing but "sock puppets for inner-city elites". He is considering running for state parliament or for Lindsay again, and says he is being courted by One Nation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The links between Cornish and Pauline Hanson are already clear. The Protect Penrith campaign was founded by a One Nation member and Hanson attended one of its fundraisers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His threat to the Liberal Party could only grow with One Nation support. Hanson's One Nation campaign bit hardest in Sydney's west, with the party securing the support of 5 per cent of Lindsay's voters in the Senate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cornish dismisses suggestions that in focusing on issues of race and immigration he is ceding ground to Labor's Husar, who has made domestic violence and infrastructure funding her key concerns. As an example he notes that he is lobbying to have bronze statues of mounted soldiers placed at the entrances to the Light Horse Interchange at Eastern Creek.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The proposed school, like the mosques before it, are part of a deliberate plan by unspecified Islamic groups to somehow take over the region, he says, explaining that it is designed as a facility for people who might later move from areas like Guildford, Bankstown and Auburn. "It is a way of populating an area. I see no reason for forcible change."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opinion on the streets of Penrith was divided when <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> spoke to locals on Thursday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"As long as it's not extremist it should be fine. We have got Christian schools here, I have no problem with religion in particular schools, as long as it's not extremist," Joshua from Penrith says. (Like others he did not want his full name used).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's just another school. I live in the Blue Mountains and it really is just another school to me," another shopper, Paula, says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I haven't seen the proposal but if they want to build an Islamic school, I'm not really concerned about it," Terrie, shopping at Westfield Penrith, says. "I think society is getting a bit over the top with this kind of thing."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Nancy disagreed. "I don't want one [an Islamic school] here. I used to live at Bankstown and I moved here for a reason," she says. Another shopper, who did not wish to be named, says she would "definitely be concerned".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Look what happened yesterday," she says, referring to the terrorist attack in London. "It hasn't hit Australia yet ... I am sure there are some nice ones [Muslim people] but why do they have to be here?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The proponents of the school, Irfan College, say they have no ties to extremism and are seeking to dispel such generalisations about Islam. Established in 2013, the college lists respect, caring, commitment and integrity as among its values.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"For us, what's important is raising thinkers and leaders that are confident in their Australian Muslim identity," college principal Ali Arabaci told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> shortly after the application was submitted. "In terms of these current conversations about Islam and extremism, our stance is evident; we are against any form of extremist Islam. Islamic extremism is paradoxical."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While a large Muslim population exists in Mount Druitt, questions have been raised by locals over whether Penrith has a large enough base to support an Islamic school. Arabaci points to the increasing lack of housing affordability in areas closer to the city as driving Sydney's Muslim population west, increasing the need for Islamic schools further afield.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Currently there is not a large base in Penrith [for the school] per se, however in the region starting at Blacktown, The Hills, Mount Druitt, there is a large Muslim population," he says. "People once used to live in Auburn, Granville or Guildford, but they are finding it expensive due to affordability. They are moving out that way, there is a market for the Muslim community."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Irfan College has not received complaints from its neighbours since beginning its operations at Cecil Park, and Arabaci says the college - operated by the Turkish Muslim community - would contribute to Penrith's social fabric if given the green light.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the issue caused a storm on social media, where not just local traffic and noise concerns were raised, but anti-Islamic feeling was stirred.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If this school is accepted, the Muslim population will increase in Penrith. An increase in Muslim population in any suburb will increase the risk of a terrorist attack. Who wants to risk our friends or family being hurt in our local area," Kyle Austin commented.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If they migrate to Australia then they need to live the Australians' way of life," Justin Henricks posted. "It's a NO for me, school first, shops next and then all of a sudden it will be a Muslim suburb. Hell NO."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The $1 million development application submitted earlier this month seeks to refit existing buildings previously used as Penrith Public School to create an independent K to Year 12 school over five years from next year. The site hasn't been used as a school since the 1980s and contains one heritage building - the old Penrith Infants Department, dating from 1884 - which documents submitted to Penrith City Council state would be enhanced and protected by the proposal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The development application is open to public comment at Penrith City Council until March 31. On Monday night, Cornish plans to ask council to organise a public meeting to discuss the application.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull made no mention of the first elephant: the changes he announced the previous day to section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act that ethnic groups and Indigenous leaders have condemned as "utterly shameful and at odds with the principles of multicultural Australia".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When he announced the changes on Tuesday, asserting they would make for a better, clearer and fairer law, he insisted the freedom to speak freely was a, if not the, principal attraction for new arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Our freedom of speech is the foundation of our great democracy that has caused people from every corner of the world to join ours, the most successful multicultural society in the world," Turnbull said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It fell to Bill Shorten to acknowledge the 18C elephant when he presented the second settlement award and began by applauding Turnbull's "personal commitment to multiculturalism".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I've never been a victim of discrimination based on the colour of my skin, the god I worship, or what I believe in," the Labor leader said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I've never personally come face to face with racial prejudice directed at me. And - by an overwhelming majority - neither have the people who are arguing that the Racial Discrimination Act needs to change. These are predominantly powerful, vocal, middle-aged men - who think this is all just a thoroughly interesting philosophical discussion."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He made no mention of the second elephant: Australia's treatment of those who fled persecution and arrived in leaky boats, who are now living with uncertainty on bridging visas in the community, or in limbo on Nauru or Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This oversight was highlighted by the fact some of the honorees were refugees who arrived on boats before Australia's policy became singularly focused on deterrent - Australian citizens who have devoted their lives to the service of others.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among them was the evening's keynote speaker, South Australian governor Hieu Van Le AC, who arrived as a Vietnamese <b>refugee</b> with his wife in 1977, carrying only his "invisible suitcase filled with dreams".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hieu Van Le recounted how he became the navigator on the dangerous voyage from his war-torn homeland when the skipper became lost, his time in an over-crowded <b>refugee</b> camp in Malaysia and a surreal arrival in Darwin harbour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Gradually, emerging out of the morning mist, we saw a 'tinnie', with two blokes with shorts and singlets in it, sun hats on, white zinc cream on their noses, fishing rods primed and sticking up in the air, and the first beers of the day were in their hands," he recalled. "They looked like extras from the old Barry McKenzie movie! They spotted our <b>boat</b> and waved at us and steered their <b>boat</b> very close to ours, and one of them raised his stubby as if proposing a toast."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"G'day, mate" the fisherman shouted. "Welcome to Australia!"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull had left before Shorten or the governor spoke.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He had the visit of the Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to prepare for and, in any case, he had a clear position on 18C and those on Nauru and Manus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In certain quarters, Turnbull's stand on free speech has been lauded as him crossing the Rubicon and embarking on a free speech crusade that will continue to the next election. Bollocks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An exhaustive parliamentary inquiry had recommended procedural changes aimed at ensuring that complaints with zero prospect of success, like those against the cartoonist Bill Leak and the students at the <span class="companylink">Queensland University of Technology</span>, would be quickly thrown out. Turnbull went much further.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not only has he supported replacing the words "offend, insult and humiliate" with "harass" in section 18C, he has backed a change in the objective standard against which harass and intimidate are judged - from a "reasonable member of the relevant group" to "the reasonable member of the Australian community".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My first reaction was that Turnbull stood to lose both ways: that these changes will be blocked in the Senate and the Prime Minister will still incur the wrath of racial minorities who now fear they are more vulnerable to racist tirades.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But there is another way of viewing Turnbull's willingness to champion a free speech position he insisted before the election was not on his agenda, one that suggests he has now settled on a strategy that goes beyond mere survival and is based more on outcomes than words.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We saw evidence of it last week when Turnbull announced his plan to supercharge the Snowy Hydro Scheme.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The imperative here was to get 18C off the agenda without antagonising the free speech zealots on the right or those more concerned about racism on the left and Turnbull may well do all three things. Assuming the 18C changes are defeated, he can say that he at least tried to secure them when Tony Abbott retreated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Moreover, many of the progressives who are dismayed that Turnbull has embarked on this course will temper their anger because his commitment to promoting tolerance is well established (and was demonstrated again by the emphatic putdown of Pauline Hanson's latest appeal to fear and prejudice).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The test, of course, will be whether the procedural changes to 18C do the job, so that the section returns to its intended function as a fundamental, but limited, protection against the worst kind of hate speech.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As for the second elephant, the challenge is simple enough: to reconcile an uncompromising border protection policy with the need to display a measure of compassion and humanity to those whose "invisible suitcases of dreams" were lost by the baggage handlers too long ago.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of his proudest achievements is creating a beautiful coffee table for some mates.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But getting an apprenticeship was not smooth sailing for the 21-year-old Iranian <b>refugee</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now permanent humanitarian visa holders such as Mr Haidari can access ACT government-subsidised apprenticeships, traineeships and Skilled Capital qualifications, Multicultural Affairs Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith announced last week. The changes mean more refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers in the ACT will have access to subsidised training in areas of skills shortages, she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it has been a long road for Mr Haidari to get to this point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His mother and father were driven out of Afghanistan by the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> and sought refuge in Iran, where he was born.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the family also faced persecution there and, when he was 16, he was arrested and deported for not having the correct identification.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I didn't have anyone in Afghanistan because all of my family are in Iran and it was really tough," Mr Haidari said. "I was scared, I didn't know what to do.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"To be 16-years-old and to be in that situation, it was a really tough time for me."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He fled Afghanistan to Malaysia, where he hopped on a <b>boat</b> bound for Indonesia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But police intercepted the <b>boat</b> just over the border and he spent six months in an Indonesian jail. He managed to escape prison and spent several months in Jakarta before taking a <b>boat</b> to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I was on the <b>boat</b> for three days and four nights without food and not much water and then I went to Christmas Island for a couple of months," Mr Haidari said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He wound up in a juvenile detention centre in Hobart for four more months before he came to Canberra and began studying at Dickson College.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There he studied woodwork and spent a week doing work experience with Canberra's Simplicity Kitchens. Owner David Jackson was impressed by his work ethic.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We noticed straight away his attitude and effort was 110 per cent, that's the only way to describe the young fella," Mr Jackson said. "On the Friday I turned around and said to him, 'if you are looking at doing an apprenticeship I'd love to take you on'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But hiring him wasn't as straightforward as Mr Jackson hoped. His <b>refugee</b> status meant there was confusion about his work rights, which required some negotiation between peak bodies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Because he wasn't an Australian citizen, it meant we'd forgo our payments that we receive for an apprentice," Mr Jackson said. "You don't take an apprentice on for $4800, that's for sure, so my attitude to it was 'we want a good kid' and I liked him."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After a lot of advocacy on Mr Haidari's behalf, Mr Jackson's gamble paid off. Mr Haidari has excelled in his apprenticeship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He got 99 per cent in one of his projects, I think," Mr Jackson said. "He's very quiet so he didn't even want to tell me about it. TAFE rang."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Jackson said more Canberra businesses should consider taking on refugees as apprentices.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The hardest problem we have nowadays is finding young kids to have a go. These kids grab hold of what they've got and don't let go," Mr Jackson said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They're extremely reliable, extremely punctual, they're there to learn, probably because of what they've copped. Their lives have been very, very hard."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Jackson said he did not believe in people coming to Australia by <b>boat</b> but, in Mr Haidari's case, "the horse had bolted".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The young fella is here so we've got to deal with the issue at hand," Mr Jackson said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My argument is, if you're going to have someone here with a <b>refugee</b> status, it's better if they're going to be putting back into the community and that's what he's doing."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Vietnamese-born Australian comedian isn't on a health kick for another appearance on Dancing With The Stars or anything trivial like that. Instead Do is preparing for what he hopes will be the defining role of his career, playing his own father Tam in the film depiction of his best-selling autobiography The Happiest <b>Refugee</b>.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"When we start filming I'll have to drop 30 kilos because I'm 85 and my dad was 55 kilos when he arrived [in Australia]," Do tells Weekender. "No more Krispy Kremes for me."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Happiest <b>Refugee</b> was published in 2010 and tells the story of Do's family fleeing persecution in Vietnam in 1980 following the country's bloody civil war. Do was three at the time when his family spent five days packed into a nine-metre <b>boat</b> with 40 people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Eventually the family reached Malaysia, after two attacks by pirates, and were accepted as refugees by the Australian Government. The Do family settled in the south-west Sydney suburb of Yagoona.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My parents said we'd go to whatever country takes us," Do says. "Australia said we can come because we fought alongside Aussies in the war so my dad is walking around the <b>refugee</b> camp swapping his shorts and t-shirts for warm clothes from other people because he thought we were going to Austria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They were preparing for a cold climate, but when they touched down in Sydney it was 35 degrees."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Happiest <b>Refugee</b> won five awards, including the 2011 Australian Book of the Year and Biography of the Year, and caught the eye of Hollywood actor Russell Crowe. The Gladiator star was so moved by Do's story he bought the book's film rights to direct a future movie.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The screenplay is currently being finalised and Do - who has previously starred in Footy Legends and Little Fish - wants to play the lead role of his father.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm very excited," he says. "I wrote a book and it's turned into a live show and a movie one day. You grow up thinking your life's pretty normal as it's all you know, but then you tell the story and people think it's amazing."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Something a little bit different would be required to handle his role in the film.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We're going to start casting for a three-year-old kid to play me who must have a massive head and wonky teeth," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The live stage version of The Happiest <b>Refugee</b> has been selling out theatres for several years as Do's profile has skyrocketed through his popular Ahn Does and Anh's Brush With Fame TV shows. The latter has exposed Do's artistic prowess as he's painted well-known personalities like controversial radio star Kyle Sandilands and polarising boxer Anthony Mundine.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">PowerPoint presentations, detailed research and interviews with experts are usually the remit of university lecturers. But for comedian Tom Ballard, they're all part of his show Boundless Plains to Share, a 70-minute comedy lecture he will present at the Brisbane Comedy Festival at the end of March.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm like a lecturer at uni, except I'm cool, I swear, I show funny photos," he said.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There's jokes about me, there's a photo of my bum, Peter Dutton's ridiculous; funny was a constant theme."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Parts of the "comedy lecture" exploring Australia's history of immigration are not so funny, Ballard said, and some people may even shed a tear to two.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I have done literally nothing like it before," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unlike normal stand-up, the 27-year-old comedian and recent Helpmann award winner said he had backed up this show with plenty of research.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I had been writing some comedy about <b>boat</b> people and then wanted to try something a little bit ambitious," Ballard said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I had to really research the history of Australian immigration attitudes and try to explain how things ended up the way they are right now, these two terrible camps, and the terrible wisdom of stopping the boats."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The show, he said, came from wanting to understand Australia's relationship with immigrants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I guess for my own sake, I was trying to actually research this topic to find out what happens in my country," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I have a genuine desire to try to understand it and I find comedy helpful in that way."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ballard said he did not understand how Australians, who loved a fair go, allowed "empty, baseless fears" prevent them from helping <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm a 27-year-old comedian, I'm a f---ing idiot, but where are the adults?" he said. "The people whose entire jobs are to make this place a better country?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"How could they possibly endorse this system, that sends refugees to these offshore camps for years on end, refusing to give them safe shelter?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ballard, who is touring his comedy lecture nationally alongside a more traditional stand-up show named Problematic, said his next challenge was to hold a show like his lecture in front of a different type of crowd. "I'm thinking maybe the evolution of the show is making a new version that's a little less playing to the choir," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I would love to pitch it to conservative think tanks."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ultimately, Ballard said he planned to continue doing this show or ones like it for as long as he could.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I love doing it," he said. "It was an extraordinary amount of work. I had a political awakening over the last couple of years, and I do care a lot.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm racked with guilt because being a comedian for a living is kind of insane, so if I can make things better then that's great.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Yes it's great to go have a laugh, but for me the really interesting work is the work that has relevance and makes people think about how changing stuff if possible."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tom Ballard's Boundless Plains to Share is on at Brisbane City Hall on Saturday March 25, and on Sunday March 26 with Auslan interpretation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ballard's Problematic show is running from March 21 to March 26.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Walkley Award-winning cartoonist Bill Leak aimed to expose hypocrisy and prick pomposity. STEPHEN FITZPATRICK reflects on the life of one Australia’s most celebrated and controversial artists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">BILL Leak didn’t so much fear death as worry that he wouldn’t have lived enough. In particular, that he wouldn’t have created enough.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There’s a certain urgency about the creative process,” he wrote a decade ago. “Whether it’s painting, writing, making music, or whatever, the important thing is that it’s got to ‘come out’. The last thing I want is to go to the grave thinking about the cartoons or paintings I never got around to doing.” Leak died of an apparent heart attack yesterday, aged 61, the winner of two <span class="companylink">News Corp</span> awards for cartoonist of the year, nine Walkley awards for excellence in journalism, 19 Stanley awards from the Australian Cartoonists’ Association and 12 times an Archibald Prize finalist.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was called the best artist to never win the Archibald, although he twice took home the packing room award and the people’s choice once.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is common to describe someone on their death as having crammed more into one lifetime than others might in several. In Leak’s case that is true, a fact made doubly cruel by how short it was cut.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Elite-level pianist, author, master raconteur and prolific swearer, he described his obsessive personality as “a gift rather than a malady” and told a psychiatrist who promised to get him “back on the straight and narrow” that there were two things he’d always hated about that idea: it was straight, and it was narrow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fine tributes flowed, from the Prime Minister down, at news of Leak’s sudden death — as was proper, since even Malcolm Turnbull counted him as a close friend. At the South Australian press club when the news was announced, ahead of an address by renegade senator Cory Bernardi, there were audible gasps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it was the anecdotes told of the man at close quarters that really illuminated an energy capable of somehow appearing to be both uncontained and sharply aimed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Because for Leak there were two primary drives perhaps above all else: an undying loyalty to friends and colleagues, and a belief in the cartoonist’s craft as being one of exposing hypocrisy and pricking pomposity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In both cases absurdity was an extra, rarely optional.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He had a business plan for cartoon covers to slide over cigarette packets, hiding their gruesome images of disease.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was a cryptic crossword nut but he took forever to complete them because there were so many other conversations to be had at the same time, such was the pace at which his mind ran. And he was an inveterate practical joker, engaging in a long-running battle with The Daily Telegraph cartoonist Warren Brown in which Leak so often seemed to come off the loser.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fred Pawle, surf writer at The Australian and a close friend both of Leak and the cartoonist’s two now-adult sons, Johannes and Jasper, said Leak had learnt to draw during a rough public school childhood in western NSW and then Sydney “as a way of ingratiating himself with the bullies by making caricatures of the teachers”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He had to learn pretty young to defend himself because his name was Willy Leak — so with a name like that in a rough public school, it was either be bullied or stand up,” Pawle said. “But Bill only ever saw things from the perspective of the average bloke. He taught me that no one’s above everyone.” Pawle and the three Leaks spent years surfing together, a sport Bill Leak had returned to in adulthood in part to stave off the depression-fighting booze he spent years in an on-and-off relationship with, the past few of them sober.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Leak was self-deprecating — he did not define the capacity of a person by their fear or lack of it, but rather, by their willingness to critically engage with the world, a tendency perhaps sharpened at least in part by that long encounter with depression.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“His wit and personality were a guiding force for the newspaper,” The Australian editor John Lehmann said. “You looked up to him as a young journalist. I did. But it’s important to see that what he was most angry about was us as a society losing our sense of humour.” Bemoaning the apparently increasing inability of society to get a joke, Leak wrote last year that the drift towards an all-encompassing political correctness, with “sanctimonious hordes lying in wait” online “ready to ambush anyone who transgresses the unwritten laws of the new puritanism,” meant the cartoonist’s job “gets harder every day”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The trick has always been to look at a serious issue, exaggerate it to the point of absurdity and draw what you see when you get there,” he wrote.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But the trick doesn’t work in these strange times when the more ridiculous an issue is, the more seriously it’s taken.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And if you’re starting at the point of absurdity, where do you go from there? What’s the point in pointing out the absurdity inherent in something that’s obviously absurd and, more important, why isn’t everyone already laughing?” He had no problem with being a champion of the Left during the long Howard years, but then being convinced by the failures of the Rudd-Gillard governments to move to the Right. The truth of the matter was, he said, that “freedom of speech is the freedom to offend, and that means the freedom to offend anyone”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Leak has most recently been associated with the campaign against section 18C of the racial discrimination act, his cartoon last year depicting a deadbeat Aboriginal dad prompting a case against him in the Human Rights Commission, one that was later dropped.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Giving evidence last month to the parliamentary inquiry into 18C, he declared passionately that the law should be changed because “if you’ve got an agency of the state hauling someone over the coals for telling the truth, you’ve obviously got a problem with the law”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said retired Queensland cop Colin Dillon, Australia’s first Aboriginal policeman who gave pivotal evidence at the Fitzgerald inquiry into police corruption, called him the morning the cartoon was published “to personally thank me for doing it, because he said what’s in that cartoon is something that has to be said. But there’s a lot of people out there who don’t want to know about it.” But Leak was so much more than just the 18C debate and, in any case, he made a long career out of offence — even when he was prepared to apologise to his targets, as he did to Howard-era immigration minister Philip Ruddock at an event just last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Leak’s 2006 cartoon depicting an Indonesian as a dog mounting a West Papuan, published at the height of the diplomatic scrap when Australia granted <b>refugee</b> visas to 42 Papuans who had arrived by <b>boat</b>, caused international ructions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Indonesian character — ostensibly president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono , though Leak always tried to insist it wasn’t — was pictured saying “don’t take this the wrong way”, with the caption underneath reading “no offence intended”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was prompted by an earlier cartoon in racy Indonesian tabloid Rakyat Merdeka depicting John Howard mounted on his then foreign minister Alexander Downer , saying “I want Papua!! Alex! Try to make it happen.” Yet for all that, Leak maintained his only interest was in wielding the cartoonist’s chief weapon: satire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I wasn’t trying to provoke a situation and I wasn’t trying to do anything that was going to be deliberately damaging to our relations with Indonesia,” he said at the time. “I was trying to make a point and I was trying to make it in a humorous way.” Nor was he trying to “provoke a situation” when he turned his attention to Islamist terror and found himself in a high-security nightmare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His cartoon in response to the <span class="companylink">Charlie Hebdo</span> massacre in January, 2015, featuring an image of Mohammed, was apparently so offensive to Islamic State members fighting in Syria that they issued a fatwa against him, calling on “fellow mujahideen” in Australia to hunt him down and kill him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a result he was forced to move house and live under extreme security measures, unable even to tell stepdaughter Tasha what was going on. He and his family were, he said later, being terrorised and there was no doubt Leak felt the stress keenly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite that, Leak had in recent years begun for the first time to really find “happiness without any anguish” according to Pawle. “He was truly satisfied for almost the first time in his life with what he’d achieved and the man he’d become.” In a life often lived at the edge, Leak was more than once at risk of going to that grave, including the 2008 balcony fall at adman John Singleton’s place that famously almost killed him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But he was never at risk of not trying to make sure that his artistic work came out as fully as possible.He described a particular near-death experience as being one where “far from experiencing some kind of spiritual epiphany, all I experienced was a deep anger directed at myself for having spent so much time propping up bars when I should have been ‘getting them out’.” He needn’t have.</p>

Good Me Bad Me is an impressive debut by author Ali Land, with the publishing rights sold in 21 countries. The story is told through the voice of 15-year-old Milly, sent to a foster home while her mother is on trial. Milly’s mother is a serial killer, and it is up to foster father and psychologist Mike to help prepare Milly for her role as a witness. Land’s work as a mental-health nurse has allowed an enlightening viewpoint of a teenager with criminal parents, the effect of Milly’s mother’s psychopathic tendencies and the dysfunctional home life of the seemingly perfect foster family.

This is thus perhaps an update of Green’s book, a collection of Norse myths aimed at readers who wish to learn more about the strange Nordic gods, as Gaiman did. It contains some short retellings of Norse folktales, with almost none of the typical Gaiman creative flourishes that typify Green’s great works. The dialogue is strong, some moments are genuinely laugh-out-loud funny, and his inclusion of sensible female characters is a minor but greatly appreciated improvement on previous Norse mythology retellings. But if readers expect a work of as high a quality as American Gods, Stardust or The Sandman series, they will be disappointed – although not entirely, since Gaiman’s skill brings to it something others could not.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nasir* waited almost five years for the chance to state his case for being given <b>refugee</b> status and protection in Australia. Then he had just a single day to nail it.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the 29-year-old Rohingyan felt the pressure as he sat across the desk from a lawyer two years his junior in a Collingwood office on a sunny autumn day this week, it did not show.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over more than four hours, Nasir told his story of persecution: the harassment by local Buddhists and the military; the random violence; the denial of the most basic rights (like being forced to leave school after two years); the forced (and unpaid) labour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His voice was soft and his answers short, as if detachment was a mechanism of self-protection. When he described being bashed and imprisoned for getting married without the authorities' permission, it was almost as if he was talking about someone else.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then he was questioned about his time in transit in Malaysia, where he was able to obtain an identity card from the <span class="companylink">United Nations <b>refugee</b> agency</span>, but could only work illegally, under the threat of arrest or extortion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finally, he was asked about the decision to pay a smuggler and the journey to Christmas Island on a leaky <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In between, he spoke about the nightmares that invariably involve someone coming after him with a gun, or of the family that remains in Myanmar. "I saw a lot of different things in the nightmares," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Nasir's words were interpreted, David Burke, whose day job is in insurance litigation at Lander & Rogers, one of Melbourne's leading commercial law firms, took the notes that he would draw on to prepare Nasir's statement seeking protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Burke also went over the answers Nasir had given one of hundreds of volunteer paralegals, who had helped him fill out forms requiring detailed answers to more than 100 questions, including every address he has had for the past 30 years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Nasir left <b>Refugee</b> Legal, some seven hours after he arrived, he had a copy of the full set of documents that would make up his application, and the satisfaction that, finally, he had been able to present his case.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like Nasir, Burke had no illusions about the importance of this day. "You are sitting across the desk from somebody and you know that this is their one opportunity to tell their story and to get it right - and that their future hangs in the balance," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The same goes for other corporate lawyers from 12 firms, who leave their offices in the city each Tuesday to work pro bono at this clinic, preparing applications for a group of <b>asylum</b> seekers who are known as the "legacy caseload".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They number 30,000 and the vast majority of them are subject to a new process the Coalition government says was designed to deal more efficiently and effectively with the mess it says Labor created.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is called the Fast Track Assessment process but, in reality, it is anything but, with the department taking an average of 247 days to process each application (the average for those not subject to the fast track system is 308 days).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only in the past 18 months have those in the legacy caseload progressively been given ministerial permission to lodge their protection applications. The number involved and the complexity of that task has meant the non-profit agencies offering free legal assistance have had to prioritise the most urgent cases and find innovative ways to tackle the backlog.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At <b>Refugee</b> Legal (formerly the <b>Refugee</b> and Immigration Legal Centre), this has meant re-instituting clinics that operated in 2002 to assist those who had temporary protection visas to apply for permanent residency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The difference this time is that the clinics rely much more heavily of corporate lawyers like Burke giving up a day of their billable time during the week and often volunteering on the weekend.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent weeks almost 900 in the legacy group, including Nasir, have received letters telling them their applications must be lodged with 60 days.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If you do not lodge an application within 60 days of the date of this letter we may not grant you another bridging visa," they have been told. "This will mean you will be an unlawful non-citizen. You will lose access to Medicare and permission to work in Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The letter also tells them the minister, Peter Dutton, has the power to revoke his permission for them to lodge a visa application, and that this may happen if they fail to meet the deadline.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They can apply for an extension if they have a good reason, but the letter concludes with a statement that amounts to a threat: fail to apply for a temporary protection visa or safe haven enterprise visa and "you are not considered an <b>asylum</b> seeker and are expected to leave Australia".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At a Senate committee hearing last week, department secretary Michael Pezzullo appeared surprised the letters were causing alarm and anxiety, saying they had only been sent to those who were given the go-ahead to apply for protection more than 11 months ago. He also scoffed at the idea that lawyers were needed to help <b>asylum</b> seekers lodge their applications.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"What we are seeking is a very plain statement," Pezzullo told Greens senator Nick McKim.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I do not think the forms are excessively legalistic or complicated. Step one of the process is, tell us who you are, and what is the basis upon which you have come to our country seeking our protection. I am not sure that you need a lot of lawyers to assist with that."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To those being asked to complete their applications under the threat of sanctions, the secretary said: "We just want to know who you are, why you are in our country and what it is that you are fearful of. We need to know so that we can start to assess your protection claims."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The problem with Pezzullo's assurances is they are at odds with both the requirements of the Fast Track Assessment process and the experience of many who have been subjected to it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Under the Fast Track Assessment process, it is extremely important to give us your protection claims early and in full," the department's own fact sheet says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The advice tells <b>asylum</b> seekers to include all relevant information in their application and warns there will only be a limited form of review of negative decisions, with no access to an independent tribunal and no capacity to put new information unless there are "exceptional circumstances".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This has alarmed officials from the <span class="companylink">United Nations <b>refugee</b> agency</span>, the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>, who argue that being able to articulate "exceptional circumstances" is beyond many <b>asylum</b> seekers, especially those who are illiterate, traumatised, non-English speaking and unrepresented.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The agency is also concerned that many <b>asylum</b> seekers are not eligible to have negative decisions reviewed, including those who have had previous claims rejected or presented bogus documents when they arrived.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The agency says this fails to take account of changed circumstances that may have arisen, or the varying quality of decision making in different jurisdictions. "<b>Asylum</b> seekers are often compelled to have recourse to false or fraudulent documentation when leaving a country, or to dispose of their identity documentation," it says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Charlie Powles says the need for <b>asylum</b> seekers to be given help to get their application right at the outset is one of the main reasons he returned to <b>Refugee</b> Legal after five years on the <b>Refugee</b> Review Tribunal (now <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span>).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There is no one in this building who wants anything other than a thorough and rigorous assessment process. In fact, the clients have wanted to participate in a rigorous assessment process for years," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia's border protection regime under John Howard was described as the harshest in the developed world because the detention system was mandatory, indefinite and non-reviewable, but lawyers and advocates say the current system is more punitive in several respects.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the Pacific Solution, <b>boat</b> arrivals who were found to be refugees could apply for permanent protection when their temporary visas expired; they were processed more promptly; and assisted by taxpayer-funded legal services.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now, those on Nauru and Manus have been told they will never be resettled in Australia; those in the legacy caseload face huge hurdles to permanency; only those considered "exceptionally vulnerable" are afforded free legal assistance; and delays in processing claims are much, much longer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the department asserts that <b>asylum</b> seekers have the chance to clarify information when they are interviewed by an immigration officer after submitting their application, lawyers say this is problematic for many <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I think the department is underestimating what is being asked of these people," says lawyer Clare Brennan. "They are being asked to share their story with someone they will only see once and, if it is someone in authority and they come from countries where they have never trusted authority, that brings added pressure."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now, without warning, that pressure has increased dramatically with the department's decision to send threatening letters to those who have not submitted applications for visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the goal of clearing the backlog is strongly supported, <b>Refugee</b> Legal's executive director David Manne says he is puzzled by the department's approach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There is a finite number of people who came to this country seeking protection, there is an application process, they want to use it and the delays have not been their fault."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The solution, he says, is for the government to work with the sector to ensure that people are given the help they need to make applications so that fair decisions can be reached.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Forcing people to apply under these time frames denies them the right to get essential legal help - and the most obvious consequence of that is the real possibility of people not being able to make proper application, not getting a fair hearing and being deported to death or torture," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sutha*, a single Tamil woman who fled Sri Lanka who arrived in 2012 after fleeing Sri Lanka's civil war, says she received her letter before Christmas and immediately suffered panic attacks and flashbacks of past traumas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I was thinking, if I can't lodge my application, if I am forced to go back, what will happen to me?" she tells <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Fortunately, through God's grace I got a good lawyer and he helped me to submit the application before the deadline. I was very happy. But I wonder how it affected other refugees like me, those who can't have such divine help from legal firms. What will happen to them?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">* The names have been changed to protect the privacy of <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Comment</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Pauline Hanson it's "a load of rubbish and a most ridiculous statement".</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She's talking to AFR Weekend about descriptions of One Nation as a "populist" party, meaning it offers simple, appealing solutions for complex problems like migration (ban Muslims), restricting foreign investment, and banking (hold a royal commission).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the One Nation leader has flown around West Australia in the past week preparing for Saturday's state election, she's been followed by a flurry of contradictory forecasts: the party has peaked, its polling numbers are up (then down), it will (won't) hold the balance of power in the WA Upper House, Senator Hanson made a mistake entering into a preference deal with the Liberal Party, and so on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The one point all this attention confirms is that eight months after her Lazarus-like re-emergence on the Australian political scene, Pauline Hanson may not be calling the shots - yet. But her actions are having a significant bearing on the fortunes of the major parties and their leaders, particularly Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So it's significant that the One Nation leader is now in stabilisation mode. After a week in which she encountered strong push back over on-again, off-again comments about parents refusing to have vaccinations given to their children; disputes among WA One Nation supporters concerning a preference deal with the Liberals; threats of legal action following the abrupt dismissal of local One Nation staff and speculation about Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's future, Senator Hanson is adopting a "steady as she goes" posture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Criss-crossing the backblocks of Australia's biggest state, she alights from a flight to Geraldton, north of Perth, to tell AFR Weekend that "the future voting pattern" throughout Australia "is hard to predict" and "we've got a long way to go". Emphasising a longer-term approach, she opines: "We have to gain the trust of people".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senator Hanson's measured tone is a long way from vapid "please explain" comments made during TV interviews after One Nation first burst on the scene in the late '90s. Now she says "people just want honesty, they want integrity. There's so much room in Australian politics for the policies of One Nation." However, "I've got to prove myself to people" so "more [One Nation candidates] will get elected to Parliament and people will start to realise we're not in extremis."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But if One Nation is not "in extremis," then what is it? Alexander Lefebvre, a professor in the departments of Government and Philosophy at Sydney University, says "the nativism of her party", like calling for the banning of Muslim migration to Australia and banning Muslim women from covering their faces by wearing the burqa in public, "strikes me as a right [wing] version of populism".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Professor Lefebvre says "this is the populism we're seeing all over the world". It will be tested in elections in Holland on Wednesday where the poll-topping, far-right Party for Freedom wants to close all mosques, Islamic schools and <b>asylum</b> centres, impose a blanket ban on migration from Islamic countries, and stop women from wearing a headscarf in public.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile in France, the leader of the far-right National Front, Marine le Pen, who faces presidential elections in April-May, wants to "expel foreigners who preach hatred on our soil" and to strip dual-nationality Muslims with extremist views of their French citizenship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Lefebvre, this is the sort of populism that is "predominantly based on contempt for foreigners and contempt for elites". It received a global boost when Donald Trump won the US presidential election on November 8 last year, and followed up with temporary entry bans into the US of people from six (at first it was seven) Muslim majority countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She may eschew the populist mantle, but Hanson says "people have been screaming out to governments to listen to their concerns. Governments have failed to listen to their concerns and treated them like morons and taken them for granted. That's why people speak to us."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The major political parties "have picked up many of my policies", she says, instancing the abolition of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission and introduction of offshore processing of refugees who arrive off Australia's shores by <b>boat</b>, plus temporary protection visas under the Howard government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She acknowledges her hardline stance on Islam is "possibly" part of the reason why One Nation has been faring better in national polls since the federal election, "but not all of it. I haven't spoken very much about Islam" compared with issues like the level of foreign investment in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile her support for the <span class="companylink">Fair Work Commission</span>'s decision to cut Sunday penalty rates for retail and hospitality workers and back further spending cuts in May's Budget are examples of more mainstream conservatism.</p>
